Nice to know that there is yet another thing in common between the academic poets and the great unpublished poets (and all those in between): No one can figure out a calendar for a hill o' beans.
I still receive invitations to new poetry open mics that either (a) are anything but poetry, (b) never seem to happen when they advertise, or (c) draw an audience of less than five people, because promotions were nonexistant.
There is an event in town that has a publicity machine hard at work: SlamRichmond. It also has nationally known spoken word poetry acts, many of which are conducting workshops every Saturday. I look forward to what this event will become.
Of course, there's always Shockoe Poets, every second and fourth Sunday, despite the occasional Richmond dis of local poets for the inbred academics, many of whom, as this reply stated, struggle just as much as we do to put our pants on one leg at a time.
Glad to say I missed both events; Thursday is poker night for me.
