Art Bar Poetry Series

I will be pleased to read from my new book, Great Silent Ballad, at The Art Bar Poetry Series. Join me at 7pm on November 18, 2024, at the Free Times Cafe, 320 College Street for an evening of readings follwed by an open mic. I will read alongside Tammy Lai-Ming Ho and Bill Garvey (Read more about them below!)

The Art Bar starts at 7pm. However, if you would like to read at the open mic the organizers suggest that you arrive by 6:30 to put your name on a list. The standard cover charge at the door is $10. Delicious food and drink are available for purchase at the cafe.
