Shameless Monday #27
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!

The up side to being a day late, is that we can share good news from Mad Poets members & friends that we received via twitter:
Tree Riesener (@TreeRiesener) has had a story accepted by Ginosko Literary Journal. Congrats Tree!
Carla Spataro (@cjspataro, our friend & publisher of Philadelphia Stories, has had three stories & an interview at 322 Review. Nice work, Carla!
Ebony Malaika Collier ( @e_malaika), a friend and past featured reader for the Mad Poets, will give a reading on Feb 2nd at the Moonstone Arts Center (formerly Robins Books). Check it out!
My own personal good news:
I’ll be reading at the Elkins Park Free Library on Feb 3rd @ 7p.m. as part of the Poets & Poetry series. The reading is free, open to the public, and includes an open mic.
The library is located at 563 E. Church Road, Elkins Park (1 block East of Old York Road/Route 611).
Hope to see you there! (It’s the day after the Lost premier — so you have no excuse!)
What a nice surprise to find my story here and news of Carla and Ebony. I definitely find it inspiring when I hear of friends’ accomplishments. Shameless Monday forever!
