Poetry Marathon at Artpost!

On April 9th and 10th, poets from the Michiana area read for 15 minute slots, for 24 hours at Artpost’s first ever poetry marathon – our tribute to National Poetry Month in April. Below you can view videos of many of the poets who read, click the arrows right and left to move through them. BIG THANKS to Fiddler’s Hearth, who  donated refreshments and breakfast for the occasion, for Ida and Glenn Williams, who donated chairs and our sound system, and for the many volunteers who kept it all running!

    I noticed this page has changed since the event. Is this an attempt to reflect the actual poets that read (as much as possible) as opposed to those who merely signed up?
    Is there video of more of the poets forthcoming?

    Hi Daniel,
    Yes, we recorded alot of the poets and are posting them to YouTube now – so the player on this page will be updated as we post them -
