Dodge Poetry Festival - Poetry Sampler



Tabblo: Poetry Sampler


The Poetry Sampler session on Friday afternoon was a wonderful snapshot of the A-list poets. They each had about five minutes to do one long poems or a couple of short ones. The proceeded in alphabetical order. The photo order is changed slightly due to the presence of the translator poets for both Taha Mohammed Ali (Peter Cole) and Ko Un (Richard Silberg). The listing of what they read will be posted separately. ... See my Tabblo;
