We'd love to see you.

YES TELL THEM!! It's absolutely THE BEST.
Holy crow, I got an actual card in the mail from someone thanking me for writing my poetry collection. Friend of a friend of a relative or something like that. Nobody can't tell me NOTHING for the rest of today. Amazing.
Tell writers when you like their stuff. Man, what a feeling.

It would not be just me, but other poets I have in mind to ask if they'd like to host something like this...
Dare I ask such a question in yet another lonely place, BUT...
If I hosted a zoom poetry reading (theme TBD-- I have ideas) might that possibly interest you? Not a commitment!
