Ariadne’s Notes!

World Poetry co-founder

 Dear poets, writers, artists and musicians,

 Update: There are 15 featured poets and several links waiting to be put in.  i am sorry for the delay. I have been busy working on World Poetry events. I will start posting on Friday and will let you know as soon as you are on the site. Thank you for waiting.

 I want to update you on a few site changes. The donate button was suggested by poets who wanted to help for the upkeep of the site and new additions such as a bookstore, pod-casting for the radio show and other features. Donations are welcome. However,  you do not need to donate to be a Featured Poet, go on the radio etc. There is also a disclaimer button at the top.
Many of you have sent poems and have asked me how to be a featured poet.
Please send a poem, a brief bio and a separate photo to ariadnes@uniserve.com . I will put the features in the order that they are received and let you know when you are on. Please let friends and family know, ask them to send comments on the comment bar below. If you are on facebook, I will put it in our World Poetry Canada and International group and give you more publicity.

If you want to be an E-poet, your poem will be read on the radio and you will be featured on the radio show page.

 Here are some of the countries that have visited this site: Canada, United States, Mongolia, China, Israel, India, Russian Federation, Uruguay, France, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Ireland,  Romania, United Kingdom, Nigeria, Nepal, Brazil,  Peru, Guatemala,Taiwan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Pakistan,  Austria, Russian Federation, Thailand, Madagascar, Philippines, Italy, Qatar, Mauritius, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Germany, Poland, Mexico, Chile, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Peru, Taiwan, New Zealand,  Greece, Colombia, Belgium , Andorra, Brunei Darussalam,  Lituania, Denmark,  Jamaica, Morocco, Solvakia , Azerbaijan, United Arab Emerates, Kenya, Algeria and Sri Lanka.

In the future, we will have additional information and a registration form for the World Poetry International Festival to be held in  May at the Richmond Cultural Centre, Richmond, BC. Like all of our other events, we are doing this festival on “no money”.  However, I think it will be a wonderful event with lots of hope, peace and love. We will have a youth panel with poets coming from different countries and other special events.  We will also have local poetry groups coming together to welcome the International poets. The theme is Multicultural Unity.

Thank you for all your kindness, love and support. We are a great World Family!
