[stylist] Poetry

[richard hammond]

Thanks for showing a interest.
My plan is to fimd a few other blind people who write poetry, & than go around to the N.F.B. training centers, & teatch a philosophy class on how to tour as a blind artist... then perform for the students. 
Since there is so much space between training centers, I am hoping this group could perform at various places along the way... like at elks clubs, libraries, & maybe even at some schools.
It has been hard finding other blind poets, but that is the plan.
Good luck with your poetry project.> From: johnlee at clarktouch.com> To: stylist at nfbnet.org> Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2008 16:34:26 -0600> Subject: Re: [stylist] Poetry> > Richard:> > A tour for blind poets?
