Poetry Mutual at AWP

Kim Roberts and Yael Flusberg signing books at the Poetry Mutual table.

We had a pretty amazing time at the AWP Conference last weekend.  In many ways it was Poetry Mutual's coming out/debutante ball.  I mean we just unveiled the new website the week before and folks are still finding out about us.


We shared a table with our good friends at Plan B Press and were happy to host book signings for Kim Roberts's Animal Magnetism, Yael Flusberg's The Last of My Village , Julie R. Enszer's Handmade Love and Robert Miltner's Canyons of Sleep.


We had a fun time playing "Trivia for Prizes" with passersby.  Trivia categories over the three days of the book fair included "Beat Poets", "WB Yeats," "Poets Laureate" and "Gertrude Stein"  and managed to give out zany prizes to a number of players.  Surprisingly not many got the Stein and Yeats trivia and our fake titles of Beat Poetry books and Yeats poem titles managed to full almost everyone.  Would certainly love hearing from any of the winners who played at AWP.
