The second annual Carrboro International 
Poetry Festival, to be held at the Century 
Center in downtown Carrboro, NC, starts in 
exactly one week on Saturday May 21. 
Admission is free.

This year's festival, like last year's, will 
feature 40 poets from  the US, Canada, and 
Mexico.  The mix of poets includes renowned 
poets from outside of North Carolina along 
with some of North Carolina's finest poets, 
including a large contingent from the Triangle.

In the coming days the schedule of readers 
will be posted to the website. 
(http://carrboropoetryfestival.org/)  All of 
the poets' biographies are up on the site 
already.  The festival website also contains 
all the travel information you'll need, from 
a comprehensive listing of local 
accomodations to directions and parking maps. 
  We even have mp3s of readings from last 
year's event.

If you are in North Carolina, please keep an 
eye out for articles about the event in The 
Chapel Hill News (tomorrow), The Independent 
(Wednesday), and the Raleigh News & Observer 
(Friday).

Please come to the festival.  The hundreds 
that turned out to last year's free event 
displayed an enthusiasm about poetry in a way 
I've frankly never seen before.  I've tried 
my best to make it entertaining, fresh, and 
surprising.  I expect to see more of that 
same energy and excitement, as I have worked 
to make the festival better--not bigger--but 
better.

I hope to see you next Saturday.
