Marck L. Beggs Recap

In case you missed it (and aren't you sad if you did?), Marck L. Beggs launched our new year of readings in stellar style.  He rocked the house with both his music and his poems.

We set our new attendance record, surpassing the 130 mark for audience members.  Marck kept us all laughing and thinking and humming along, and the audience survey results show that nearly everyone found something to appreciate about the event. 

In addition to Marck's performance, we also gave away a half a dozen free books to lucky audience members.  That's right!  Free books!  If you attend our next event (novelist, Padma Viswanathan, Thursday, 25 October), you just might be a winner as well.  We offer books of modern & contemporary fiction and poetry, with a few books on the craft of writing thrown in for good measure. 

Many thanks to PTC's Tim Jones for taking photos!

Check out what Salmon Poetry has to say about Beggs' Libido Cafe. 

"Welcome to the Libido Café, where monkeys are welcome, the piano has been drinking, and the coffee is always perfect. In his second collection, Marck L. Beggs explores a wide range of poetic forms and subjects. From the formal structure of the sonnet to invented forms and linguistic experiments, from the vulgar to the salubrious, from the humorous to the offensive, the poet brings a new voice and a fresh sense of urgency to each poem. The result is a book which crosses genres and schools of poetry. Beggs's poems veer from the immediately accessible to the obscure; in a word: eclectic."  ~  from the Salmon Poetry website.
