Virtually Live PoetryBridge #2

Our Virtually Live PoetryBridge #2 will feature Paul E. Nelson and Mary Eliza Crane followed by a virtually live community mic. The following are brief bios that I received for our regular reading in March that featured fourteen readers.. That seems so long ago!

Only members of the PoetryBridge mailing list will receive an invitation link. If you would like to be added to this email list or would like to sign up for community mic, please email me at info@poetrybridge.net
