Hi Carrie, Great to hear from you. Actually the Poetry Foundation is hosting a two day festival in September in Long Beach. I'm not sure how far that is from you. All the best, JP

Sure wish I lived in a place that did a fun thing like this. I hope a fellow New Jersey poet steps forward to meet you there!

Hi Andrea, It is always a treat. I have made many friends over the years that I keep in contact with. Sadly the festival is every two years. The wonderful thing is Poetry Soup. I have made new friends here and have read a lot of nice poems. I hope to carve out more time to read and comment on the poems that are posted everyday. Best wishes, JP

Hi Jan, It is a lot of fun. The days are 8-10 hours of reading, discussions, open mic and hanging with poets from around the world. It is really neat. I've met three or four poet laureates. If you ever get a chance it is a lot of fun. JP
