The Poets’ Corner at Art & The Vineyard and Authors & Artists fair was created by Quinton Hallett & Nancy Carol Moody, in an effort to help bring visibility to local poets of Lane County at these two annual fundraisers created by Bill Sullivan.

After many years of hosting and coordinating these events, having brought numerous poets to the attention of the general public, Nancy & Quinton have decided to step down and turn the reins over to someone new. We can’t thank them enough for what they have done for our poetry community, but we will always be grateful for their hard work and endeavors in making these events fun, meaningful and memorable.

Local poets C. Steven Blue and Janice D. Rubin have taken on coordinating the events this year. Their first job is to find Lane County poets who would like to showcase their work at each of The Poets’ Corner tables in 2016. Download the flyer:The Poets Corner 2016

If you know of anyone or are a local (Lane County) poet who has recently been published in an anthology or have a new book out, or if you will be published in 2016, we would like to hear from you to consider presenting your work at one or both events this year. It is a great opportunity to get exposure for your new work and display and sell all your work.

The deadline is quickly approaching to get our author information to Bill Sullivan for the July 3rd event at Art & The Vineyard, so please get in touch as soon as possible with either Steven or Janice. Steven Blue:cstevenblue@wordsongs.com  Janice Rubin: rubinjand@yahoo.com
