The local observation of 100 Thousand Poets for Change will conclude with an Open Mic. All are invited to share a poem on the subject of change. The reading will be held "renga style" with no emcee or sign-up sheet. The event will end when everyone has had an opportunity to share.

Also, the Ancient City Poets will lead a panel at the Florida Heritage Book Festival the day before. We hope that everyone will come out to support and contribute in the dialogue of how change can be brought about with words. Here is the info on that:

Saturday Sep 26 2:05 pm - 3:00 Ringhaver Student Center, 50 Sevilla Street, Saint Augustine, FL 32084.

The Florida Heritage Book Festival will host a “Poets for Change” panel discussion with the Ancient City Poets at Flagler College.

Bell Kessler and is a part of an entire day of writing and book themed workshops, book signings and activities open to the community.
