Scott Bird, well, Scott Bird is Scott Bird! A poet! A visual artist, as well.

You can read in the open mic that follows the featured reader. If you’re a poet. Or aspire to be one!

Michael Koch and Jerry Ferraz book and host the reading series and conduct the open mic that follows the featured readers.

but a buck or two in the bucket will augment the small honorarium
we offer the featured poets and is certainly appreciated.

BYOB, proof of vax & masks!
