POETRY SHOWCASE HISTORY FROM AN EARLY ADOPTER

Share

by Angela Yuriko Smith

Were it not for Peter Adam Salomon and the HWA Showcase series he started, I might not be still poeting today. Our community is particularly kind to dark poets. From founding National Dark Poetry Day to be celebrated every October 7th (also a gift from Salomon, by the way) to getting the latest Poetry Showcase up in lights on Times Square NYC (thanks to current president John Palisano), the HWA brings the love to our scribblers of verse.

Over the next few weeks the poets of HWA will be sharing their work from the Showcase in a series of videos. All poets have been invited to attend, along with the judges for volume 9 and some Showcase alumni. Please feel free to share and congratulate the friends you see reading, discover new favorites and, by all means, purchase a copy of the HWA Poetry Showcase vol. IX… or three!

To start our video series off, I offer a brief history of the Showcase series as I remember it.
