The Mad Poets Blog

There’s still an hour left of Monday… that’s plenty of time to get shameless. Where are you reading? Publishing? Performing? Hell, are you gonna stand on street corner and shout your work into the wind? Let us know & we’ll do our best to come out.

As for us… it’s a slow week. But we’re working like lightning to nail down our 2010 schedules, which will go full tilt in February. Look out!

The MPS website & blog were experiencing technical difficulties yesterday… so Shameless Monday comes a day late.  But here it is: you’re chance to promote whatever it is you’ve got to promote. A reading, a book, a CD, an art show, etc etc etc. Whatever it is, we’re here to promote & support it! You can also get shameless on twitter by following @MadPoetsSociety and tweeting your good news with the hashtag #ShamelessMonday.

As for us, we’re back on the map.

*Week of Jan 19*

Friday, Jan 22, 7:15p: Maleka Fruean reads for the Poetry Aloud & Alive Series at the Big Blue Marble Bookstore.
That’s right, Poetry Aloud & Alive, which has been thriving in Mt. Airy’s favorite independent bookstore for a few years, has come under the sponsorship of the Mad Poets. This month, we are proud to feature Maleka Fruean — a familiar face around BBM, since she on staff at the store. We’re really excited to be working with Mike Cohen and the folks at BBM to keep this series thriving and succesful. See you there!

A new year, a new resolution to keep this blog better updated… especially our Shameless Monday Fun!

So bring it on. Tell us about your upcoming readings or performances. Tell us about your publications: where can we find your work or buy your books?

Post it in the comments and/or tweet it with the hashtag #ShamelessMonday. (BTW, if you’re not following us, we’re @MadPoetsSociety.)

We over here at the Mad Poets are still firming up our 2009 schedules. So there’s nothing to promote this week — more room for all your good news!
