Friday, June 2, 2017 promises to be one of those poetry evenings our far flung community will talk about for months when Calling All Poets brings Susan Konz & Mary Panza to Roost Studios for a one-of-a-kind reading of poetry, pathos, humor, and insight.
Susan's first book, Second Sleep, was published in 2016 by Lion Autumn Publishing and her poems have appeared in publications such as Waymark – Voices of the Valley, I Want You to See This Before I Leave zine, and the CAPS Poetry 2015 Anthology(CAPS Press) She is almost done with an MFA and sometimes wonders whether she is, in fact, waking or dreaming.

Mary Panza has been a mainstay on the Albany Poetry scene since 1988. She has been witness to countless open mics, naked poets, fires, drunks, chapbooks, career changes, organizations (both coming and going), festivals and great poetry and spoken word.
She is Vice President of Albany Poets and host of Poets Speak Loud, a monthly open mic held the last Monday of each month at McGeary's in Albany. She is the author of the wildly acclaimed Housewife Tuesday blog. She was on her way living the rest of her life as a party girl when (at 37) the party really began when she became a mother.
Her work is ever evolving as she tries to figure it all out.https://albanypoets.com/poets/mary-panza/
