Queer Words Poetry Event on 25th
Mari M
Just a quick email to bring you all up to speed on the Poetry Event happening at Jaaga on the 25th. If I've included you in this email, it's because I have received your poetry and you are reading at the event, or it's because I WANT you to read at the event, and am really hoping you will (Joshua, Nafisa, Neha, hugs!). If you haven't sent me the poems you'd like to read, or you'd like the poetry to be read, but you're not able to be there, please do email or call me about that too. 9632513023.
We'll be starting at 6pm, so it'd be great if you can get there a half hour before hand, just to make things run smoothly, and quickly. As it stands now, we've got about 90 minutes of poetry and that's not including the names that Tanvi and Niruj have yet to give me (now would be the time, please!).
Really looking forward to this, think Jaaga is going to be a great space for us!!
Love,
Mari

Because we have been so blessed with interest in this event also, no one will be able to read more than 5 minutes, with a one line introduction that you will do yourselves. This way, we're able to have as many people be involved as possible :). Please let me know if you have any questions.
