November is here already and like every new month, November means a slew of poetry readings available from the PPA (Performance Poets Association) This month, a few venues are suspended. The PPA meeting at the Westbury Library returns in December, and the meeting at Best Bargain Books returns in January. However, starting Monday November 9th, the PPA will be having a new monthly venue at Starbucks in Little Neck.
This is encouraging news for poetry enthusiasts--anyone loyal to the scene knows how often difficulties arise and venues close their doors, so it is always nice to see a new venue become available. The PPA has some notable features during the month of November including former Suffolk County Poet Laureate George Wallace on Saturday the 28th at East Meadow Library.
Be sure to take a look at the PPA website and watch their calendar for events near you. And be sure to inquire about their annual contest!
