Ojai Poetry Fest Cancelled
Just received the following disappointing news from poet/blogger/friend Robert Peake:
2009 Ojai Poetry Festival CANCELLED
18 November 2008Dear Festival Supporter,
The Ojai Poetry Festival Committee, on advice from the festival founders, has decided to cancel the 2009 festival. Due to a variety of factors, the Committee has decided to conserve its resources this season in hopes of bringing a great lineup of poets and poetry events back to Ojai in 2011.

Thank you for your understanding, and your continued support.
Sincerely,
Robert Peake, Webmaster
on behalf of The Ojai Poetry Festival Committee
