POETRY DOUBLEHEADER

First Tuesday this February First  at 7 pm isn't Lupercalia, but itki's a poetry doubleheader with KC Trommer reading on the East Coast and the Art Goodtimes  in Telluride. Trommer, essayist and poet-in-law of San Miguel County's own Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, headlines a Jackson-Heights-based First Tuesday reading series at 7 p.m. EST (5 pm. MST). The zoom series is run by Richard Jeffrey Newman and sponsored by New York State and Poets & Writers, Inc.

Trommer's reading is free but requires registration with Newman of Nassau Community College.  

A MFA graduate of Univ. of Michigan at Ann Arbor, KC has published books, founded poetry programs, been awarded grants and fellowships in the U.S. and the Czech Republic, collaborated with Grammy-recognized composer Herschel Garfein  on a poetry song cycle, and served as poet-in-residence both for Works on Water and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's COVID-19 Response Residency Program on Governors Island. KC is the Assistant Director of Communications at NYU Gallatin and lives in Jackson Heights, Queens, with her son.

At 7 pm MST (same time but not simultaneous shows thanks to different zones) Art Goodtimes of Wrights Mesa (who has spent the last two years healing from multiple challenges) is having a poetry coming-out party of sorts as part of the Bardic Trails virtual reading series sponsored jointly by the Wilkinson Public Library and the Telluride Institute's Talking Gourds poetry programs.

Join us and bring a poem/story/heartsong to share in the Gourd Circle portion of the reading.
