Labor Omnia Vincit

Oklahoma Laborfest sounds like it's going to be great!


The festival takes place in Oklahoma City's

Plaza District

from

August 26th to August 28th
.


It will begin with a poetry reading at Coffy's Cafe, hosted by Jeanetta Calhoun Mish, whose book, Work is Love Made Visible: Poetry and Family Photographs, won the 2010 Oklahoma Book Award for Poetry.



Several Oklahoma writers will read, including our own Aaron Rudolph, Jason Poudrier and more. Lawton will be represented! Let us know if you are going, too.


This is a great opportunity to support the arts and to learn about Oklahoma history.

Favorite Poems Project @ Lawton Poets and Writers

Howdy, everyone. We are in the midst of National Poetry Month. As part of this celebration, Lawton Poets and Writers will post favorite poems.
Starting tomorrow, Wednesday, April 14, we will post a new poem for twenty consecutive days.

The poems will come from all of us. Send us your favorite poems to lawtonpoets@gmail.com. Whether the poem is long, short, funny, or dramatic, we want to see it. The poem does not have to be from someone famous. We'd like to see any poems by any authors. We will select one each day. If possible, send it as a document or in the text of the email. Include the title, poet's name, and the full text of the poem. On our blog, we will display the poem along with the names of the poet and the person who submitted the poem.

National Poetry Month celebrates a beautiful art form which often gets overlooked. Certainly, it is under appreciated. Hopefully, we will all share some new poems to add to your own collections of favorites.
