Celebrate Rengay’s 30th Anniversary

The first rengay was written on August 9, 1992, and since then this thematic collaborative poetry form has grown in popularity around the world. Join us on Zoom on August 9, 2022 for a party to celebrate rengay’s 30th anniversary. Read in our open-mic rengay reading and hear brief talks on rengay:

• The first rengay and beyond: Garry Gay, Michael Dylan Welch, and John Thompson

• Beyond/Within, the first rengay anthology: Cherie Hunter Day and Ce Rosenow

• First rengay contest winners: Valorie Broadhurst Woerdehoff and Connie R. Meester

• The birth and growth of Tandem: Ignatius Fay and Marcyn Del Clements

• Rengay today: Sherry and Zoe Grant

• Roundtable discussion: How you came to rengay and what attracts you to it?

• Open reading: Please share your rengay, old or new

This event will be recorded, and we encourage you to read previously published rengay. If you have questions, please email Michael at WelchM@aol.com.

Please join us on Zoom (note time zone):
