POETRY WITHOUT WALLS
Eleventh Annual Open Reading
Garfield ArtWorks, 4931 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh
Every spring, e b bortz coordinates a poetry even in Pittsburgh, "Poetry Without Walls". The first year I went, a dozen poets stayed over his house for the weekend. Half of us joined him in a peace march that Saturday before the reading. It's one of my best poetry memories ever.
