KWPG Open MIc, Sunday, 01/05, 7pm, Key West Library, Featured Poet: Tod Perry
The Key West Poetry Guild will gather Sunday, January 5th, 2019 at 7 pm in the Auditorium of the Key West Library for our Monthly Reading.
The Key West Poetry Guild has met the first Sunday of almost every month for over forty years. We carry on the spirit of the Island of the Arts and Robert Frost’s Sunday Salon’s at the then-home of Jesse Newton Porter on Caroline St., Key West
The Guild has one rule…the Poetry you share must be your own work.
Our Featured Poet for January will be Tod Perry
Perry describes himself as a “small voice out of Cudjoe,” and writes of “the 30 years that I have been there in residence when I am not overseas in Europe, where I have lived for the past 44 years.”

He “studied language and literature at Cornell, the Writers Workshop at Iowa, and later taught at the University of Puerto Rico. After five years in New York, I left for Europe in 1970.”

“At Iowa I was the winner of the fiction writing prize, and recently came in second in the 2012 Robt Frost Poetry Contest,” Perry continued. “My work has appeared in a number of magazines, periodicals and anthologies, including the New Yorker, Prairie Schooner, and elsewhere.  Translations have also appeared in various anthologies.” Tod is currently working on a new collection entitled, “Old Town Clown” to be published with EPCO press in 2020.
