I recieved the following information from a flier and thought I should share it here. Anyone interested in attending or possibly sharing thier poetry?

------------------------------------------------

The Bergen County Rape Crisis Center (New Jersey)

Is sponsoring a Survivors' Poetry Reading

Wednesday, April 16, 2003
7:00 - 9:00 PM
at Fairleigh Dickenson University
Student Union Building/Rutherford Room
1000 River Road, Teaneck, New Jersey

Please join us to acknowledge the pain of survivors and celebrate their healing process

If you are in contact with Survivors who would like to share thier poetry at this event please call 201-487-2227

Advocates from the Rape crisis center will be on hand through out the evening to provide support and information

The deadline for Poetry submission is April 8, 2003
----------------------------------------------

Thought it would be GREAT if we could have several submissions from male survivors. I plan on contacting them to see if they might share some poetry from survivors who may not be able to attend. If anyone is interested in submitting something you can contact them directly or forward it to me and I will see if they will share your poetry. Of course, if you can attend by all means do so..I hope to make it there.

Thanks so much for posting the information for the Survivor's Poetry Reading. Some of the participants from our Men's Group plan to read their work. All who are interested are more than welcome to attend. For survivors unable to attend due to distance, we would still love to include your poetry in the reading. We compile the poems in a book that is then given to participants, so if anyone is interested in attending and/or having their work read, please give us a call and we will make sure your poetry is included in the book.

Thanks again,
