Dear Poetic Friends



I have some breaking news that I just learned of last night.

The Downtown Daily Grind is closing its doors on 10/17.

Being this the was site of our 1st Tuesday Meetup

it presents a problem.



We are going to be starting all over again,



As of Election Day November 4th 2008

At 7:30pm The Orlando Poetry Group

Is going to be kicking off poetry

In Apopka. That’s right Poetry fans



First Tuesdays @ the Daily Grind lives on

In Apopka. I know there are members that

live out that way. Not only are we having

an Election day poetry bash, but we have

Amy Watkins as our feature to assist

us as we get used to our new location.

Featuring

Amy Watkins

Amy Watkins writes poems in pencil on a 4X6 notepad at 5 o’clock in the morning with only her dog for company. Some of those poems have recently been published in Bayou, Apalachee Review and The Louisville Review, as well as a new anthology of writing about menstruation titled Women. Period. She graduated from Spalding University’s brief residency MFA in Writing program, where she wrote a still-homeless book-length manuscript and a very long critical paper on Pablo Neruda and James Wright. She lives in Winter Park, with her husband and daughter, and pays the bills by writing marketing materials for AAA. She doesn’t dance. She doesn’t play favorites. And she doesn’t turn down free drinks.



November 4 @ 7:30pm
