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.

No cover charge to listen and no charge to read in the open,
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!
