Hi everyone,<\/strong><\/p>\n

BOB STEPHENS is gathering five poems from each of the Bards of Moon City as he prepares our fourth annual anthology. There are twelve or so in the Springfield area who give poetry readings around town, and occasionally beyond, as members of the group. The effort began as a way to observe National Poetry Month (April) but has expanded over time to include readings throughout the year. Each anthology is illustrated by a local artist and can be purchased both locally and online. Proceeds from sales go to support Ozark Literacy Council. <\/strong><\/p>\n

So far I\u2019ve chosen one of my five poems for Volume 4. Four to go. What a pleasant duty.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
