We were SO THRILLED with the reading last night! Fantastic turnout, awesome engagement via video and chat, amazing open mic poems, SUPERFUN workshop, and incredible readings from Andy Verboom and Jeff Blackman!
We saw a lot of links flying around the chat, which is awesome because we want to encourage everyone to support poetry at this time. So to share them further with our friends who weren't able to attend last night, we're putting them all right here in this thread

. @AndyVerboom led such a playful, engaging workshop and we LOVED his poetry reading so we highly recommend you check him out over at http://andyverboom.com
You can also get Andy's new chap, "DBL", from @knifeforkbook at http://shopkfb.weebly.com/store/p47/ANDY_VERBOOM__DBL_.html
