It will be a full evening of poetry and spoken word starting with a brief interview on stage with our two featured poets Timothy Gager (Author of Joe the Salamander & The Best of Timothy Gager) and bg Thurston (Author of The Many Lives of Cathouse Farm/Tales of a Rural Brothel ) followed by poetry readings by our features, a 10-minute tribute to a dead poet by a guest reader (T.B.A), a short intermission, and then an open mic (with 5-minute slots for each reader). Admission is free, but a hat will be passed for donations to pay our feature and compensate Starlite for the use of their space.
