Free Online Poetry Readings on Zoom
Saturday 15th February

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. So medicine, law, business, engineering... these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love... these are what we stay alive for.
(I don´t need to tell you where the quote above comes from… ;-) )
The Wee Sparrow Poetry Press will be hosting a free online poetry reading on Zoom on the theme of “love” on Saturday 15th February. We invite poets to come along and read a poem of theirs on this theme. The world can be overwhelming, frightening, and stressful but we must not forget about love in all its many forms. If you would like to join us, just email theweesparrowpoetrypress@gmail.com for the Zoom link. In your email please include your name and current country of residence.
The online readings will be at 11am Central European Time & 6pm Central European Time. Come along to one or both. (We have chosen these times hoping to cover as many different time zones as possible.)
Poets may read one poem of their own each, previously published or new. We ask that your poems be no more than 30 lines to allow time for each reader.
We hope to see you there!
Chirp chirp!

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope. - Maya Angelou
Stay well and stay creative, you lovely lot!
