We realize that the theme "Dialogue Among
Civilizations Through Poetry" is very broad. Some
organizers have asked me for suggestions on how to
develop their reading. If you have some possible
topics or approaches that you are working on, please
email them to me and I will share them with the group
on the website.
(6) We will be gathering poems for the anthology
starting in February 2001. But, in order to appear in
the anthology, your reading must take place.
If you would like to be a part of the program, please
email me or visit our website at
http://www.dialoguepoetry.org. We are also exchanging
ads with literary publications.
Thank you,
Ram
