Member News
DPA VP Betty Roberts attended the Waco Wordfest and Georgetown Poetry Festival. She reported on those activities with the following comments:

"I went to the Waco Wordfest last weekend and the Georgetown Poetry Festival this past Friday and yesterday. In Waco, Karla Morton did a nice reading mostly from her Wooden Lions book and an interesting workshop on using fortune cookies for poems.

Michael Guinn from Fort Worth was a great emcee for Sunday afternoon’s open mic.
​
Joyce Gullickson, director with her husband Mike of the Georgetown Poetry Festival, said attendance was down from other years, but there were several good poems read. Saturday there was a reading from the 2018 Texas Poetry Calendar, which was very nice."

Thanks Betty for sharing this.

Denton Poets' Assembly meets on the third Saturday of the month, 10 a.m. - noon at the Emily Fowler Central Library, 502 Oakland Street, Denton, TX 76201. Meetings are free and open to the public. Everyone is welcome. For more information, visit http://DentonPoetsAssembly.weebly.com
