Florey's Books invites you to our ongoing poetry event!
***Saturday, February 24th, 7:30-9:30pm***
The featured poets this month are Karen Llagas and Florencia Milito.
From Sherri:
I'd like to invite you to consider joining Aaron and me for our poetry reading later this month. We'll be featuring poets Karen Llagas and Florencia Milito for their poetic view on the world.
As always, you are invited to bring your own work to read at open mic (3 minutes, please, and do time yourselves so you can observe the time limit); our open mics are among the most varied, high quality and courteous I've observed!
If you can, please also bring a snack or drink to share (water is particularly appreciated). We now have plenty of napkins, plates, and other supplies, thanks to you!
