The Poetry Club had its November Poetry Coffeehouse on Thursday. I had to be the emcee, because I couldn’t find anyone else to do it. It was awkward for me; I don’t like to stand in front of an audience very much, even a small one. Very few people attended. There were only five readers, so it didn’t last very long. For the next coffeehouse, to bring in a bigger audience, I’m going to try to work with another campus organization, maybe KAT. They might be able to give me some better ideas on how to draw people in. Also, Susan Williamson, one of the women I’m working with for the Palm Beach Poetry Festival, has offered to be a guest performer. She has been published, as well as anthologized. You can read some of her poems here and here. Hopefully the next Coffeehouse (which is December 11) will be more successful.
