Adopt a Hurricane Poet/Writer [US]:
Please spread the word to poets and writers displaced by Katrina and Rita. Artists in other genres will not be accepted because there are already several systems in place to help them, and because it is easier for performers and visual artists to sell their works quickly. Writers, especially poets, are generally the most starving of artists, and this is for their benefit. These donations come mainly from poets and writers and are meant to go to poets and writers. Known, established performance poets from the oral tradition (e.g., NOMMO Literary Society, etc.) are indeed eligible.
Pinning down who's a "real" poet or writer is tricky stuff, but I think most folks here know each other and can vouch for those who might be newer or less-well-known as legit working poets or writers. When in doubt, ask.
