Location: Noyes Arts Garage

Our usual Open Mic, where participants read one poem that is less than two minutes long, will run from 7:00pm-7:45pm. Please arrive by 6:50pm to secure a spot in the Open.

After the break, participants will return to a free take-home writing prompt penned by Barbara Daniels.

Then, Cynthia Arrieu-King will read and sign books.
