Plus Wendy Nicholson joins us as our guest host.
And the Poetry Salon isn't just for the featured writers. Open mic slots are available — come early if you'd like a chance to share your own poetry, prose, or spoken word from the Barrel Proof stage.
The Poetry Salon is a relaxed, welcoming listening-room experience where the words get the attention they deserve. Come to read, come to listen, or just settle in with a drink and enjoy two hours of poetry and live jazz.
