Joyce,

Hello again. Charles Coe, take two. Could you kindly send the following
announcement out an any poetry listserves you're connected with? (And
please sign in yourself as well). This is an interesting project that I
think has the potential to really help Massachusetts poets.

Many thanks.

Cheers,
Charles

Greetings to Massachusetts Poets:

Would you like to be listed on a state-wide database of Massachusetts 
poets? Such a database is being compiled as the first step in the 
Massachusetts Poetry Outreach Project (MassPOP). The purpose of MassPOP 
is to create resources to help support and promote poets and poetry 
throughout the commonwealth. The project is a partnership of the 
Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Massachusetts Foundation for the 
Humanities, the Commonwealth Foundation and several private funders.

Eventually, the information in the database will be posted online, with 
the goals being to help poets network across the state and provide
poetry
presenters with information about which poets are available to offer
readings and workshops.

If you'd like to be listed, please send an email that includes:

Name
Mailing address
Phone number/s
Email address
Website address
Any poetry books published (and please indicate if they were
self-published)
Any classes or workshops you teach
What poetry genre/s you work in  

Please send your email to masspop at gmail.com

We look forward to hearing from you.

Charles Coe, Massachusetts Cultural Council Director, MassPOP
