The “Word” is out about the Green Line Poetry series

pencilOur monthly poetry series, hosted every third Tuesday by noted West Philly poet Leonard Gontarek, continues to garner attention. In fact, John Timpane over at the Inquirer gave us props for jumping on Philly’s poetry bandwagon and getting the community involved.  So far at our 45th and Locust location we’ve featured readings by poets including Kat Georges, Peter Carlafters,  Karen Hilderbrand, Cindy Savett and Ray Garman, as well as others from right here in the neighborhood and even amateurs reading their works for the first time.  There is an apparent groundwell of interest in poetry in the greater Philly area, and our series is now being mentioned with the likes of university poetry events at Penn, Temple, Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore, and West Chester, along with The Painted Bride Quarterly’s readings over at Bubble House.  What it comes down to is: if you’re in the tri-state area and you’ve got a hankerin’ for the written and read word, the cozy confines of the Green Line are as good a choice as any.
