World record poetry reading for charity

We have begun negotiations to set up the total read of THE COMPLEAT PANTHER CYCLES in association with Barnes & Noble. The premise, to be clarified and verified later, once final plans are perfected, is this:

There will be a reading, by the poet (myself), of the entirety of the book, in a single sitting, for purposes of establishing a definable record for a single poetry reading. There will be, in accordance with generally established guidelines, a regular break afforded the poet during that reading (normal is 5 minutes per hour). This reading will include the forewords and annotations.

Copies of this book, THE COMPLEAT PANTHER CYCLES, and others by the author will be available for sale at the site. The actual, physical volume which the poet uses for the reading will be signing, certified and sold at auction to raise money for a charity to be defined prior to the event.

As plans evolve I will keep you up to date.
