Phillip Levine, host of the Woodstock Poetry Society reading series, sent along the following information on this month’s event featuring Michael Platsky and Rees Davis. You will also notice that everyone will be meeting at the Mountain View Studio this time around rather than the Colony Cafe.
Note the NEW venue – we will NOT be at Colony (closed, for now). This month, we will be at Mountain View Studio (directly across from Colony, on the other side of the large opposite parking lot). We will see where we want to be as we move forward. We’ll be somewhere…
