Poetry Coming To Woody Guthrie Fest: "“NY, OK poets to join with musicians at annual Woody Guthrie Folk Festival”
For the first time this year, American poets will help celebrate the life and times of one of the nation’s greatest 20th century folk music artists at a festival held in his own hometown, when they join with musicians and performers to recite works by and about Woody Guthrie in Okemah, Oklahoma.

Led by New York poet George Wallace and Oklahoma’s Carol Hamilton, a multi-state gathering of poets will read during a midday performance on Saturday, July 16, the culminating day of a week of Guthrie celebration. The two-hour performance, which will be held from 1-3 pm at the Okemah Historical Society, next to the main theater in town, includes poets from Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri and New York.
...
In all, 21 poets are set to appear at the event, including Wallace, Hamilton and Francine Ringold, current Poet Laureate of Oklahoma and editor of Nimrod International Journal. They include: ... Jane Taylor, poet and research librarian at the University of Central Oklahoma"

Congrats Jane!
