Tonight we’re attending a play, but first…

Hi everyone,

Busy day today. I’ll give a keynote talk in Branson at the Ozark Writers League (OWL) Spring Conference from 10:30-11:30. Then SANDY and I will head back to Springfield so I can read several nature poems during the From Page to Park event in Jordon Valley Park in Springfield from 3:00-4:00. Here’s a link to one of the articles about that.

To prepare for the reading in the park, I made a file of twenty-five poems and sent it to our emcee for the event, Dr. KATHERINE (KATIE) GILBERT, from Drury University, and she chose the poems that work best with those of other readers. It should be a good event. Don’t forget, this event is free and open to the public. I hope to see some of you there.
