    Hey Russ, It was great coming to Orlando and sitting in on Open Mic once again with the Orlando Poetry Group. I felt like I never had left. It's great to see how the group has grown in 3 years since I was one of the first few to have join 3 years back.. I'll be up for an other visit soon and I promise to bring some of my new poems that I've written..

    •  “ Deborah Poe is one of the most talented young poets I have experienced in recent years. Add in all the wonderful Poets and Story tellers that have made Austin's part of their lives, and I feel lucky to be in the same room with these people. They are all part of central Florida's great poetic family and they make me feel at home. I am thankful they come to my events and enjoy their company and sharing a piece of their souls and words. Several people just came out to listen and enjoy the entertainment--and I thank them too. Hope everybody enjoyed themselves as much as I did. ” 
    •  outstanding. russ and lilly do a great job, recruiting features and running the open mic. 
    •  This was my first meeting in any poetry group, so I can't be comparative with any other similar experience, but I enjoyed it very much.
