Poetic Happenings

Okay, so this blog is about Proetry.com, Athens' New Online Lit Mag that we're currently accepting submissions for, but I also want it to be a place where we can discuss Poetic Happenings in the community, as well as in the world.

And I've got two announcements:  the first is that Poetic Soul was awesome last night!  Poetic Soul, if you don't know, is a weekly open mic for poets and acoustic musicians here in Athens, GA.  It's from 8-10pm on Tuesday nights at New Earth Music Hall (sign-up at 8 so be there promptly please).  It's an awesome event, one you should definitely check out, and last night was fantastic!  We had a pretty big crowd, there was a bunch of awesome poets and musicians, and we had fun!  It's every Tuesday, so be sure to come check us out next week, or the week after, or the week after that...

Second Announcement:  Next weekend, Oct. 7th-10th, the Dodge Poetry Festival is happening in Newark, NJ.  We are heading up there because it is always an amazing weekend and a great festival and I wouldn't miss it for the world!  Tickets are on sale on their site, or via phone.  Here's a link to the festival site:

You should all come if you can!  It's always an awesome time and there are always amazingly talented poets who come out for this festival every other year.  Come be a part of it!  Hope to see you there!
