Host a reading

One of my favorite venues is a smaller house reading.  If you are interested in hosting a house reading, I'd love to come, read some poems, and bring books for sale (if anyone wants one).  I would only ask that you be able to have about a dozen people attending.  Interested?  Please email me and we'll see if it's possible (the further you are from Central Illinois, the harder it might be).
