From Sherri:
It's time to invite you to join Aaron and me for an evening of poetry, welcoming poets Erica Goss and Eileen Malone. I hope you will consider coming to witness the spoken word, and renew your acquaintance with eloquence. You are invited to bring your own or a favorite poet's work to share at open mic (3 minutes, please) which begins at 7:30, followed by a break and our featured poets. Please bring a snack, drink or supplies (napkins, plates, cups) for the table, if you can.
