Featured Reading at Athens Word of Mouth
July 4, 2012
The Athens Word of Mouth is a diverse open poetry community, meeting upstairs at the Globe the first Wednesday evening of each month. Open mike readings begin at 8:00 p.m. The featured reading is around 9:00. Visitors are always welcome.
My reading this July was titled "A Journey to Embarkation." You can listen to a recording on the Athens Word of Mouth website (see screen capture below). Photographs of the event were taken by David Noah.
