Pittsburgh Poetry Exchange

A community resource for Poets in Pittsburgh

The well-known Cap Gun Quartet has collaborated with Michael Wurster and Romella Kitchens on a new CD, Several Other Sounds. See Readings for information about the CD launch party, and order from Amazon, iTunes, Emusic, or Rhapsody.


Along These Rivers, a beautiful anthology of the best poetry and photography being produced in the Pittsburgh region, has been published by Quadrant Publishing. Edited by PPE mainstays Michael Wurster and Judith Robinson, Along These Rivers is a celebration in art of Pittsburgh's 250th anniversary. The book will be available in some Pittsburgh bookstores, or can be ordered directly from Quadrant Publishing, Pittsburgh.

Local poets will read poems from Along These Rivers at Allegheny County Libraries in celebration of National Poetry Month in April (and afterward) and of Pittsburgh's 250th anniversary. Schedule.

Ziggy Edwards and Arlene Weiner thank students, friends, and colleagues of Michael Wurster for their contributions to Stories About Time, a chapbook in tribute to his poetry and especially of his fostering of the art of poetry. Michael received the book at the Té Café on February 19, 2008. Thank you to all who made the presentation a success: Erik Rosen, the Té Café, Ruth E. Hendricks, and to Michael!
