It's Almost Showtime

Hello everyone. Welcome to the SoHo Cafe Poetry Corner. Tonight and every night you will find poets and poetry over here just past the cappucino bar. You can tell the poets by the papers they keep rustling in their hands. The reading is about to begin.... I hope to keep this cafe interactive and active. It will constantly be updated as I find new material and links. E-mail me with links and poetry you think should be included here. I might or might not use them, but what the hell, e-mail is free. If I don't want them, I'll zap them into cyberspace. No whining either. The more the better, but I am limited by space and time. Mine. I don't know what this page will become, but it will be fun to find out. I used to be an art and poetry editor in the real world of flat newsprint. That was fun, but this is now.

Be sure to come back before you go and
