to the monthly open mic at the Cravings Coffeehouse, 140 17th St,
Salem, at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 19. We'll be sharing all the
wonderful event poetry and spoken word events that we will be offered
in the Salem area in April and you won't want to miss a single one.

Also, don't forget Saturday is the deadline for the Salem Chapter of
Willamette Writers poetry contest.

Contest judges include Miguel-Loredo, spoken word poet who sponsors
local poetry events and open mics; F.I. Goldhaber, published poet and
fiction writer who has read at a number of local poetry events; and
Jaqui Forney, eighth grade teacher and freelance writer.

Two first place awards will be given: one in structured verse and one
in free-form. The authors of the two winning poems will be among the
presenters at a special Poetry Month edition of Loredo and Friends
April 25. In addition, the two winning poems will be published in the
May issue of the Salem Monthly.

The contest is open to all forms of poetry and all ages. Winners must
be available to read their poems in the Salem/Keizer area. Each writer
may submit up to two unpublished poems of no more than 100 lines each.
Deadline is March 22. Complete contest guidelines and submission
instructions can be found at www.salemchapter.com.
