Featured Reading: National Association of State Poetry Societies Convention

The Saint Petersburg Hilton Bayfront Hotel was completely renovated this year, including the Dali Bar, a focal point for the handsome lobby and beautifully furnished, intimate alcoves where our themed open poetry readings will be held.

An incredible program, featuring a highly talented cross section of Florida’s best poets will include a welcoming by St. Petersburg Poet Laureate, a Featured Reading by Lola Haskins, Peter Meinke, the possibility of an invasion by poetry provoking pirates, and a surrealist poetry workshop at the nearby Dali Museum by Parisian born surrealist poet, Dan Pels.
