Colin, Nancy Klepsh, Carol Fraser, Thom Francis, Dan Wilcox, Ian Macks, Avery Stempel, Hex M J’ai or Mary Panza. Perhaps you’ve never heard of such area poets as D. This has been happening since and even before the 1980s and continues to this day carried on by others who have picked up the torch and created events for poets old & new to gather. This area’s writing and poetry scene is rich in its history & legacy and unless you’ve actually ever been to a local poetry open mic or event then you are missing out on something truly great which is area poets & writers sharing their words, voices, and work with others. Yes, and in fact, there’s a HUGE Poetry Scene and a Poetry Open Mic happening almost everywhere in the 518, Capital District area and that scene unknown to many has been going on for quite a few years. ATTENTION!!! HEADLINE!!! THERE’S A POETRY SCENE IN ALBANY, NY! POETRY STILL LIVES IN THE 518
