Lampshade Poets Open Mic

In 2012 David Celone couldn’t find a poetry reading group in the Upper Valley area, so he started his own, offering readings both at his then Long River Studios Gallery in Lyme, NH, and WRJ, where Lampscapes owner Ken Blaisdell opened his store to the event. Two of the original poets, Janet Watton and Pam Ahlen, will resume the readings at JAM, open to all Lampshaders as well as any poet who is interested in reading an original piece or two. Poets have the opportunity to be videoed for JAM’s community access station and YouTube channel if they wish.
