Dear Friends:
I am happy to announce two major poetry benefit
readings for the WTC Relief Fund happening on Oct 17
in New York City and San Francisco featuring prominent
poets, writers, film-makers, actors, and readings by
NYFD Firefighters, NYPD Police Officers and
grade-school children from NYC. Some of the readers
include Sharon Olds, Ric Burns, Rick Moody, Sgt. Edgar
Rodriguez, Cornelius Eady, Richard Price, NYFD Anthony
Castagna, Poet laureate of San Francisco Janice
Mirikitani, and many others. Many of the poems being
read will be selected from the enormous public
outpouring of poetry posted at New York City fire
stations, Union Square, and numerous other memorial
sites around the city.
Thank You,
Ram Devineni
