Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

The Poet spreads news of The Steiny Road to Operadom: The Making of American Operas first in New York City.

March 16 - At the Mercantile Library, Karren Alenier speaks with Ted Sod about putting Gertrude Stein & Alice B. Toklas on stage. Sod is the book writer of 27 rue de Fleurus, Paris, a new musical told from Alice Toklas's perspective about her "marriage" to Gertrude Stein.

March 18 - At the Manhattan School of Music, Gordon Ostrowsk (Director of Opera Programs at the Manhattan School)
and Midge Woolsey (program host at WQXR) mention The Steiny Road book as they introduce and moderate the proceedings of the sixth annual New American Opera Previews From Page to Stage program. A segment of Alenier's opera with Bill Banfield Gertrude Stein Invents a Jump Early On was previewed in the second New American Opera Previews From Page to Stage program.

March 19 - At the Brooklyn office of Encompass New Opera Theatre and at the Mercantile Library for the concert reading of 27 rue de Fleurus, Paris.

During these four occasions, the Poet distributed flyers about the advance release copy of The Steiny Road book. Grassroots promotion of an advance release book is like watching a stalagtite form. It takes patience but the Poet is pleased to announce that she has some orders in hand!
