Poets of varying levels of experience
are encouraged to come and respond to each other's poetry. Bring

month, 8:00 P.M., at City Books, 1111 East Carson St. on Pittsburgh's South
Side. (Access is up one long
flight of stairs.)
Michael Wurster will be taking medical leave for the months of June and July after major surgery in early June. Therefore the open workshop will not take place in July.
