AIPF versus Coronavirus
Virtual AIPF no longer on the Way
We at AIPF have been struggling with issues surrounding the pandemic for several months - hasn't everyone? Way back in late Spring of last year (right after AIPF-2020 was cancelled) we had every hope we'd have a clear path to AIPF-2021. Even as 2020 started winding down, there was hope, dwindling as it was, Well, you all know how things have gone - even plans for outdoor readings have been put on hold; We're sure our founders, exemplified by John Berry (above) would be distraught. We are also sure that they'd have said, don't let another year go by without AIPF. So, with the turn of the calendar year, we planned a virtual AIPF. Emerging circumstances of health and other life events, however, have caught up with us again and we must cancel even the virtual event - a devastating turn of events at this late hour. Our sincerest apologies.
As soon as we are able, we will begin work on corrective actions and be in touch with any poets affected by the cancellation.
Rest assured that the anthology will still be printed (it is in progress already) and that AIPF-2022 will be on track to success. Details are a bit sketchy at this point, but the dates are April 8th and 9th, 2022. Many of the guest poets will be same as scheduled for this year and the poetry will be just as fantastic. We will still have panels on self-publishing, measures of success, performance, websites and blogs, and innovative types of poetry, as well as workshops on several topics. Will you join us?
Watch this site for emerging details.
Stay healthy and continue to write as though you mean it.
