Chronicle Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 I am a young college student and poet in the D.C./Metro area looking to participate in an open mic or other poetry reading. Really, I'm looking to get noticed and want to have my work published. Any help that can be given would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lucy Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Hello Chronicle, I don't know much about poetry.. There is a wide variety of resources at local book stores, or maybe at local super markets like Whole Foods. Peace, Lucy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Wilbur Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Hello Chronicle, Why don't you post some samples of your poetry here and I will make sure to show them off to some members of our DC Art Community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
