friends,<BR> <BR> The upcoming December artists at <B><I>Poetry at
the Loft... and more</I></B> may be of particular interest to you and your
students. We are focusing on Taiwanese-American artists. You have by now
received our email poster (if not, please let me know.) Please read it and
forward it to your students. This may be a rare opportunity to hear and
interact with these particular interesting artist. I booked Shin Yu Pai to
come here last year, and I helped arrange other readings for her in the LA
area to defray the cost. We have a very limited budget but we do our best to
not let that minor detail prevent us from bring interesting artists of high
caliber to our area. I appreciate your support.
