Request for Expression of Interest
SCP Poet Russel Winick has graciously agreed to host an in-person SCP Symposium at his large residence in Naperville, Illinois. The tentative dates are from the evening of Friday, Sept. 5 to the evening of Saturday Sept. 6. It would include poetry readings, discussions, poetry writing, and two dinners; it would also include a visit to the nearby Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Arts ($10). This event is only open SCP Members or those becoming Members by paying the Membership fee upon entrance. There is no ticket cost but you do have to cover your own transportation, lodging, food, and museum ticket.
If you are interested in attending, send an email to Russel Winick rvwinick@sbcglobal.net with the subject line “Symposium.” There is no particular deadline, but the sooner the better, of course. If you would like to present on a particular topic related to poetry, you may also propose that in your email submissions@classicalpoets.org. If there is a particular activity or format you would like to suggest for the event, please email submissions@classicalpoets.org.

Sunlit dreamy days
Float through golden summer haze
Into memory
Musky amber scents
Swirl in sultry wistful air
Infusing my mind
White virgin snowdrops
Winter’s gems whisper to me
Immortality
