The lingering snow and slush can make for rather dreary and unimaginative days. But Spring is right around the corner, and it's a time for renewal and inspiration. Make this Monday one to look forward to with an evening of inspiring poetry at McQuixote Books & Coffee. The Portland Poetry Series returns March 2 with its fourth installment and the theme, "Epiphany." The Series hosts locally, regionally, and nationally renowned poets once a month for an evening of poetry centered on a chosen theme.
The March featured poets are:
Amber Burns, seasoned poet and Assistant Director of the Louisville nonprofit New Roots, Inc.
Jeremy Clark, recent U of L graduate in Pan-African Studies with work forthcoming in PLUCK! and Callaloo.
Adam Day, coordinator of The Baltic Writing Residency in Latvia, Scotland, and Bernheim Arboretum & Research Forest.
Yolantha Harrison-Pace, teaching artist, playwright, poet, author, and international humanitarian.
Perhaps you are inspired to do a reading of your poetry? Aspiring poets will have an opportunity to share their work in one of the 3 first come, first serve open mic spots.
McQuixote Books & Coffee is located inside The Tim Faulkner Gallery at 1512 Portland Ave. This free event is scheduled to start at 7pm on Monday, March 2.
