The Cools’ next venue will be in Portland, Oregon, at the home of Cool stalwart Penelope Scambly Schott. She and her husband have hosted the White Dog Salon there for many years and have featured (at last count) over 100 poets.

Here are photos from our reading as well as photos of other places we visited.

If you’re not able to travel that far to hear us, please come to the launch of our new anthology, Cool Women Volume Six, which will be held beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 7, 2016 at the Off Broadstreet Theatre, 5 So. Greenwood Avenue, Hopewell, New Jersey. We hope to see you there!

On a drippy, rainy day we had a tremendous turnout for our reading at the Hopewell branch of the Mercer County Library in Pennington on Saturday, April 9th. Our theme was “light” in all of its manisfestations. Here are some photos:

The Cool Women will be performing twice during the month of April (National Poetry Month). Their first gig is entitled “Cool Women Talk to the Animals” and will take place at the Franklin Township Public Library at 7 p.m. on April 6. The address of the library is 485 DeMott Lane, Somerset, NJ (phone 732-873-8700). A few days later, Saturday, April 9, 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., they will be reading to the theme of “Cool Women Light” at the Hopewell Branch of the Mercer County Library, 245 Pennington-Titusville Rd., Pennington, NJ (phone 609-737-2610). This reading will be followed by light refreshments, and both readings are free and open to the public.
