WomPO readings

This mini-wiki is for organizing, by geographic area, the women poets who are in the forthcoming WOMPO anthology. That way we can efficiently contact each other about readings!

Instructions
How to add your name: Click "Edit" and you'll get this page but editable in a sort of box in a web form. Then make your changes, add name & email & area/city, etc. Then click on the "save page" button you'll see if you scroll down the web page a little bit. There are little tricks of formatting to add bold, indents, and links, which you can pick up from the help on this page or from looking at how others did it. Thanks y'all, I hope this helps! (And then my evil plot to train you all on wikis by throwing you in the pool will come true, and we'll swarm onto Wikipedia and write encyclopedia entries for all the women poets who are missing.)
