Monday

YOU ARE INVITED TO AN EVENING OF POETRY AND ART

Three Friends Coffee House
201 SE 12th Avenue (at Ash)
Portland, OR
Date: February 23rd, 2009 - Monday
Time: 7 PM
Cost: FREE

On Monday, February 23rd I will read poetry from my series, For The Love Of Agnes, and some new poems at Three Friends Coffee House in Portland. That night will be a 3-friends adventure -- I will be joined by two remarkable women, Eileen Elliott (poet and visual artist) and Constance Hall (writer and editor).

Eileen will display glass and fiber art pieces and read poems written or inspired by these specific pieces. Constance will read poetry from her book about the Italian immigrant experience. We will conclude with a poem for three voices that will be performed for the first time.

I hope you will be able to join us at 7pm. Three Friends Coffee House is an intimate setting that is well suited for poets and artists - and they have great coffee, tea and sweet treats.

Melissa Sillitoe is our Host/Producer
