Participants and readers included Madeline Artenberg, Stephanie Berger, Bernard Block, Lee Ann Brown, Bob Holman, Patricia Spears Jones, Elizabeth Macklin, Jane Ormerod, Annie Pluto, Audrey Roth, Sarah Sarai, Iris N. Schwartz, Larissa Sparrow, Steve Dalachinsky, Bonny Finberg, Rob Hardin, Ron Kolm, Tsaurah Litzky, Yuko Otomo, Jill Rapaport, Thad Rutkowski, Jim Feast, Tom Savage, Susan Scutti, Carl Watson, Carol Wierzbicki, Chavisa Woods, Susan Yung and Jordan Zinovich.

I say included because I think some other people read and some of those listed did not.

The room was hot - almost unbearable - and the poetry, well that was often quite hot too.

I'm doing a simple one picture per participant post here, with a couple of extras, especially Larissa Shmailo who put a lot of effort into getting this right.

I also want to thank Bernard Block, who helped me out with the order of the reading and the names of most of the participants that I didn't already know.
