media release: Saturday, November 11, 1:30-3:30 pm. Reading by the South Region contributing poets to the WFOP 2024 Wisconsin Poets' Calendar at the Sequoya branch of the Madison Public Library (4340 Tokay Blvd, Madison, WI 53711).
Join us for a free reading by regional contributing poets to the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets* 2024 Wisconsin Poets’ Calendar. This year’s Calendar theme is “Margins” and the editors state: “Margins. Those sharp edged, drop offs and boundaries that interrupt life’s smooth downhill run. We wanted to explore some of the ninety degree turns and overhangs that catch us up short. We also wanted to consider those peripheries in the natural world. How standing at the edge of a divide opens our view, sheds beauty on an ordinary day.”
The 2024 Wisconsin Poets’ Calendar presents interpretations of this theme by almost 200 poets, and our reading will feature over 25 poets from the South Central Region of WFOP. A limited number of calendars will be available for purchase and they can also be purchased on the 2024 Poets’ Calendar store page on the WFOP website (wfop.org). Some contributing poets will also have personal works for sale, as well.
