Sunday May 25, 2014 - Afternoon of Poetry

The theme for May is "Mothers Who Inspire"

MOTHER IS THE THEME FOR MAY

On Sunday May 25th join the Ancient City Poets for an afternoon of poetry. The festivities will start with the Mother of All Workshops at The Gallery Cafe of St. Augustine (located at 1974 US-1, in the OLD Staples Plaza). Dotty Loop will lead this fun and engaging hour-long event. Please register at 1:45. The ACP Plant-A-Poem workshop is from 2:00 to 3:00 pm. A fee of $10 is requested to participate which provides for endless coffee and sweet treats. Dotty will present info on "Inspired Mothers." Using the styles of these famous poets, she will encourage you to experiment with your own. Bring pen and paper.

SAINT AUGUSTINE SPEAKS - Mother of All Poetry Readings
Immediately following the workshop, join us up the street at City Coffee (located at 1280 N. Ponce de Leon Blvd, near the VIllage Inn) on Sunday May 25th celebrate "Mothers Who Inspire" from 3 to 4:30 pm. Saint Augustine Speaks is a community open mic spoken word gathering. Chris Bodor will open the reading and at 3:30 everyone who wrote something during the workshop is encouraged to share their newly cultivated mother poems. All are welcome to share their poetry on any theme with a warm and supportive crowd. The reading will be held “renga style” with no emcee or sign-up sheet. The event will end when all presenters have had an opportunity to share.
