This will be a very busy month, with poetry events and poetry books busting out like daffodils and crocuses everywhere you look!
NightBallet has not one, not two, not three, but FOUR books of poetry by four different poets planned for publication in April. These books will be announced and debuted at various poetry events throughout the month. Stay tuned to this blog for details!
Check out the following links for exciting and intense poetry events, most of which will find NightBallet Press in the audience or on stage:
Writing Knights Presents at the Literary Cafe, featuring John Burroughs -- Saturday April 6 at 7pm -- although NBP has to work and can't attend, this event promises to rock and roll -- kick off the month in fine style with NBP performing poet John Burroughs!
Artomatic 419 in Toledo, Ohio, featuring NightBallet Press -- Saturday April 13 -- featuring J. E. Stanley, Zach Fishel, and John Burroughs, with poetry by editor/publisher Dianne Borsenik (we'll be on the Third Stage between 5 and 6 pm)
