National Poetry Month (Again!)

It's National Poetry Month and my head has been in the clouds, those storm clouds that loomed over Cocoa Beach just a few days ago. Sage Cohen's reminder that many will be participating in the poem-a-day challenge for the month of April was certainly welcome after a week of non-stop theme-parking with the family. Read Cohen's post to find out about the many ways you can commit to the challenge. One way I will be participating is by reading some of my poems at the Toronto launch for Sweet Lemons 2: International Writings with a Sicilian Accent, edited by Venera Fazio and Delia De Santis. Here are the details: Thursday April 14, 2011, 7:30 pm, Annex Live, 296 Brunswick Ave. (south of Bloor). Featuring poetry and prose by: John Calabro, Domenic Capilongo, Giovanna Capozzi, Delia De Santis, Bruna Di Giuseppe-Bertoni, Desi Di Nardo, Venera Fazio, Isabella Katz, Darlene Madott, Maria Scala, and Michelle Alfano as emcee.
