Hi Poets and Writers, As I mentioned at the poetry reading on the first Monday of January, I am teaching a Poetry Writing class W208/303 this spring on Mondays at IUPUC, 3-5:40 PM in room CL 2211 (the Learning Center). I know my students (10 or so) would learn a lot by listening  to you read your poetry and hearing about your most important experiences in the poetry world.  For those of you who actively teach or perform in the  world of poetry, you may list this invitation on your resume or CV as an  invited reading, teaching, or college lecture event. I have set a tentative schedule of the days open for you.  Please let me know when you can teach the art of poetry to my students.  Mathew J and Tony, could you attend on March 1, so that we could maybe attend a local reading after the class?   I would really like you two to come together  on one Monday. February 8 March 1                Matthew J and Tony  (tentative, if you can make it) March 29 April 12 Katherine (Kathy) V. Wills, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of English
