Are
you looking for a poet to conduct a workshop, address your historical
society board of trustees, or give a reading at the local library?
Welcome to the website that lists poets of the United States whom
you can book to do readings and give workshops. BOOKTHATPOET™.com
is sponsored by Woodrow Hall Editions, a small publishing company that is responsible for the
Poetry Jumps Off the Shelf program based in Madison, Wisconsin.
Poets
are listed by state and by last name. Select the state
in which you wish to locate a poet or select their name from the drop-down menus at
right.
Each
poet's page lists personal information and qualifications,
a sample poem, and their contact information. All arrangements
must be made directly with the individual poet.
BookThatPoets have received
invitations to do readings and/or workshops in coffee houses, libraries and classrooms. They've been contacted
to appear on Wisconsin Public Radio's Higher Ground, Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know, and Wisconsin
Public Television. They have sold their books, been interviewed by journalists, and asked by editors to
submit their work for publication. BookThatPoet enables poetry event
coordinators to locate you—even when they don't know you by name!
Nota
Bene: please note that all arrangements
for scheduled events, and the participation of any
poet
listed on this site is the responsibility of the poet
and the booker. Woodrow Hall Editions cannot vouch
for the reliability
of either party or the quality of the presentation,
nor for the venue or booker who arranges to host the
programs.
All subsequent involvement between poets listed on
this site and the hosts who contact them is conducted
independently
of Woodrow Hall Editions.
