Events

Charis & Cliterati pair up to present an inviting and fierce open mic & reading series on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Hosted by the anarchic spoken word team of Karen G and Theresa Davis, members of the Art Amok Slam Team, this series cultivates the voices of authors, novices and an assortment of poets, songstresses and storytellers. May's featured poets are Danielle Sellers, author of Bone Key Elegies and Heather Cousins, author of Something in the Potato Room. Seller's Bone Key Elegies "animates the brackish world at this dangerous edge of America, where everything lives close to the bone." While the poems in Cousin's Something in the Potato Room "are genuinely exciting because they are both fanciful and menacing." Don't miss these exciting new voices in contemporary poetry.
