Versify
November 11, 2017
Versify is a poetry series that was launched and curated by Bob Walicki. Most events were hosted by the White Whale Bookstore (previously known as the East End Book Exchange) in the Bloomfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Bob recently announced that the series has run its course. A new series (name to be announced) will be curated by Kayla Sargeson in the same space. All of us at Hemingway's congratulate Bob for a fine (frequently inspired) series of readings. The reading presented here was the second to last.
