Chapbooks & Anthologies

 

Here you will find links to view examples of chapbooks and anthologies published with public PoetSpeak™ public performances.

​

Typically each PoetSpeak™ performance is composed of 10-15 poets, with one lead poet. The lead poet is featured with 5-10 poems, and supporting poets are represented with 1-3 poems. In the chapbook and anthologies poems are printed in the order they are performed. People attending a PoetSpeak™ performance can listen as well as re-read a poem they have just listened to. Generally, a PoetSpeak™ performance format has 2-5 single poems performed following with a brief musical interlude by a song writer.

 

People attending a PoetSpeak™ performance receive one copy of the chapbook or anthology published for each performance as a part of their admission contribution.
