The idea of this page is that several of our DWFOPENMICS POETS have access to it....we post lots of blogs, bulletins and such. Local people on Myspace check over here to see what's happening with the local poety/ music/variety open mics...and we meet LOTS AND LOTS of people at our local events who want to come hear the local poets, musicians and artists,and hopefully share their work as well.
