Letter from Here

www.wordsinhere.com

Thanks to everyone who made it down to the Sugar Factory last night! You helped us kick off what promises to be an excellent fifth season of The Open Stanza. Highlights of the coming season include featured poets from the vibrant Paris writers' community, the editors of the soon-to-be-launched Bordercrossing Berlin literary magazine, and the release of Versal V in May. Don't forget that as of November, The Open Stanza moves to the SECOND THURSDAY of each month. Same excellent show, same awesome location, on an even better night! So put it in your calendars now: Thursday, 9 November.

And some good news from Utrecht: wordsinhere Curator Anna Arov was recently asked to join the board of the Stichting Literaire Activiteiten Utrecht (SLAU) to bring an international element to its programming. Congratulations, Anna!
