What's on our minds? Funding! Especially organizational support funding. Funding to support the costs of delivering quality poetry programming is vital to fulfilling our mission. We want to acknowledge our great organizational support funders who help us "keep the lights on", so to speak. The Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation, Indy Arts with the City of Indianapolis, the Indiana Arts Commission with Noblesville Creates, our Region 7 partner. The steadfastness of these funders enables us to secure funding for special programming that brings support from others, inside and outside of our state, to serve our citizens with the wide range of poetry we produce. With the multi-year backing of the state and city, plus the steadfast support of our Clowes partners, the stability of our mission persists and grows every year. Thank you, partners! We could not do what we do without you.

Special thanks to Indiana Poet Laureate Curtis Crisler for gracing our stage and reading with Jl Kato and Mary Sexson at our Neighborhood Literary Art Park. The evening closed with a reading by Sondra Hayes of her Phillis Wheatley tribute poem. The poetry was great, and the evening included some lovely shade and a sweet breeze blowing through our space.
