A BRIEF MARKET NOTE AND A REQUEST

The semi-annual webzine THE DREAM PEOPLE does not use poetry.  Now for the request.  If you been to any poetry function or panel at either a con or a writer's workshop or a presentation at an academic group like the Popoular Culture Association or SFRA  please post what you know of it.  I would also be interested in programing or events involving sport,mystery/suspense,historical adventure and western poetry.
