The Gotpoetry Live! reading has been created to inspire poets to travel to perform in a professional atmosphere, to renew the Joy of reading, to provide a forum for travelling poets and local talent alike to share their work, and to maintain a community of poets committed to keeping poetry alive.

Gotpoetry.com, the world's premiere poetry community, reaches out to provide a Live venue for poets, as it has for its online community for many years, in the hopes that it can carry on new and fresh tradition at Cafemantic, in Willimantic, CT.
