We had a grand time this Saturday at the first-ever virtual Lawrence Poetry Fair. Originally scheduled as an in-person event in April, we moved the fair online for obvious reasons. Even though making it virtual meant that we had to miss the milling about joy of in-person conversations before and after the readings, holding the fair online meant that we were able to draw three Kansas poets laureate, including Denise Low who now lives in California. I was honored to act as emcee, and my reading comes a hair after 46 minutes into the event, but stay and watch the entire video. We had an amazing lineup including one of my favorite poets of all time, Annette Billings.
