Split This Rock Poetry Festival: Poems of Provocation & Witness is gearing up for our second festival March 10-13, 2010, in Washington, DC. As we move ahead with plans for readings, panels, workshops, and opportunities to build community across barriers we also want to showcase in a large way the significant role of publishers and those who bring us the kinds of writing Split This Rock celebrates: impassioned, visionary, and truth-telling.

With this in mind, we're introducing a Social Change Book Fair to Split This Rock 2010. This will be an opportunity to further our mission of getting the critical work of socially engaged poets, writers, organizations, progressive presses, literary magazines, and independent newspapers the attention of our festival participants.

Won't you join us? The Social Change Book Fair will take place on Saturday, March 13, 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, at the Thurgood Marshall Center for Service and Heritage, the old 12th Street Y, at 1816 12th Street, NW, Washington, DC. Split This Rock workshops and panel discussions will be taking place in the same building, ensuring plenty of foot traffic. The Book Fair will also be free and open to the general public and we will promote it widely.

You can download the form from our website at: www.splitthisrock.org. The deadline for registration is Monday, February 15, 2010.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

In peace & solidarity,
