Florey's Books invites you to our ongoing poetry event!
***Saturday, June 30th, 7:30-9:30pm***
The featured poets this month are Eileen Malone and Kathleen McClung.
From Sherri:
Dear Poetic Community,
Amazingly, we've reached the mid-point of the season, and to celebrate poetry and the summer solstice, I'd like to invite you to consider joining Aaron and me for our June poetry reading. We'll be welcoming poets and teachers Eileen Malone and Kathleen McClung for an evening we can all look forward to.
You are invited, as always, to bring your own work to read at open mic (3 minutes, please), and if you can, a snack or drink for the refreshment table.
