Poetry Open Mic hosted by Lesley Day, featuring Ken Gierke
Our poetry nights are inclusive and supportive. A perfect place to read for the first time, try new material, experiment, or share your published work.
Our host will start the evening off with a few pieces of her work then the featured poet will have an opening set and then the open mic begins until near the end of the evening where we close out with another set from the featured poet.
Featured Poet: Ken Gierke is retired and has lived in Missouri since 2012, when he moved from Western New York, where the Niagara River fostered a love for nature. He writes primarily in free verse and haiku, often inspired by hiking and kayaking, while his fondness for love poetry may be explained by the fact that he moved to Missouri to be with the woman he eventually married. His poetry has been published or is forthcoming both in print and online in such places as Ekphrastic Review, Amethyst Review, Silver Birch Press, Trailer Park Quarterly and The Gasconade Review, and it has appeared in several print anthologies. His first collection of poetry, Glass Awash, has been published by Spartan Press. He also blogs at www.rivrvlogr.com.
