14th Annual Poetry Marathon Benefit Reading

Saturday, January 26, 2008
10am till 1am


Marathon Signup!

Every year, on the last Saturday of January, over 100 poets, writers, and performers show their support for Woodland Pattern by participating in its Annual Poetry Marathon & Benefit. Each writer presents five minutes of work to a packed house and raises pledge money benefiting Woodland Pattern programming.

Hundreds of people faithfully turn out for this vibrant community event. Last year's Marathon drew an audience of over 500 people, and featured 123 readers from across the nation. Through the funds brought in by each reader and the generosity of donors including our Sponsors, we were able to further support programming for Woodland Pattern during the calendar year of 2007. We expect to have another great turn out in 2008 and hope that you can be a part of our legacy!

Participating in the Marathon is one way you can invigorate the literary arts community in Milwaukee. It is not too late to sign up to read, become a donor, or save the date in your daily planner! Hope to see you on the 26th, your spirit and energy is important as we kick off another year of great poetry and art at Woodland Pattern.

Young Poets Hour from 10am-11am
Don't miss the first hour of this year's marathon! We will feature students from Woodland Pattern's writing workshops and our Woodland Creatures Poetry Camp! We are continually impressed by their imagination, honesty, and energy. Please show your support and join us in celebrating Milwaukee's young and promising poets!
