Salute to Poets

As National Poetry Month draws to a close, Susanna K. Green-Sawyer of Sweet Nectar Publishing and Etienne A. Gibbs of In the Author's Corner with Etienne have combined efforts on behalf of poets everywhere to present the poetry of 9  contributing poets to the Poetic Gumbo anthology in this special 2-hour event. 

Poets will answer questions from the host and hostess, render their readings, and take questions or comments from the audience as time permits.
