In the future everyone will read poems for 8 1/2 minutes...(UPDATED 8/16)

        One can hope, can't we? The future can and will happen on August 16-18 thanks to John Mulrooney and Jim Behrle. The line-up as of 7/24 will be posted below with changes edited in as they become known. If you are local to the Boston area, plan on checking this out. It'll be my first time reading here and I've heard nothing but good things about this annual event.

LINK 1: The Cambridge Day had a nice write up on 8/15 which included "Girl With a Gun" (see this link or below)

LINK 2: UPDATE 10/10: About a certain "misunderstanding' at the event.
