>Curator's Note:
>
>This will be the last Friday Night Event at The Poetry Project at
>St. Mark's Church of the season. It was an enjoyable year as was
>last year, though we had fewer presentations this time around. I
>would like to thank all the many talented contributors for what on
>many an occasion rendered very exciting events, with diverse,
>amazing, intellectual, beautiful, strange, entertaining turnouts.
>I'd also like to send a shout out to the PoProj staff and 'behind
>the scenes people', for keeping a great vision clicking at every
>event. May even greater things come in the future (they certainly
>will). And as it is and will continue to be this FENCE reading is
>going to be an alive affair, perhaps with a few extra treats thrown
>in last minute. Got to keep it fresh. Keep it really fresh and
>living otherwise the creative people lose out once again to the
>(a-hem) academy of the established bored. Keep pushing yoozall! We
>need more light, more raging art, more ways to say "live your life
>to the
>fullest", what better way than to push the essence of poetry in
>every genre, everywhere and all over.... always and forever
>more......see you somewhere, next year.....Stay up.
