Friends of the Montserrat Poetry Festival --


Thanks for your support and enthusiasm over the past four years.

It has become increasingly apparent over the past few months that I will not have the time to commit toward producing the Festival in 2012.  I'm sorry that this is the case, as the Festival is the one activity in the area that brings people from so many communities together.

Perhaps we'll be able to re-establish something a year or two from now or other presentation opportunities will develop in its stead.

I hope so.  Personal expression, in all of its variety, needs its venue.
