I’m ready to take the Austin Feminist Poetry Festival in a bigger direction. Which means writing a set of bylaws and getting a board together so that I can form a nonprofit corporation, and ultimately get 501(c)3 status. I’ll also be working on upping fundraising efforts and possibly doing one or two fundraisers this year to help get things going.
I’ve also set the dates for next year: September 25th and 26th, 2015. (Here’s hoping I’ll have finally managed to not conflict with any other poetry events in Austin!) I hope to see you out there!
In the meantime, check out one of the highlights from this past festival: Kelsey Erin Shipman and Funk Riot performing “Seven Ways I Love You.”
Dear Allyson, Best of luck with your project Feminist Poetry! I’m sure you will turn this into a big poetry event in Austin. Are you very busy these days? With love, Shubh
