Event
Riverwood Poetry Series
Join us for this in-person reading! An open mic will precede the featured reader—one poem, one page please.
Since we are always trying to perfect our open mic, this month we will draw 10 names from all those who sign up by 7 PM.
The series is also updating their contact list!
If you would like to receive email notifications of upcoming events, please leave your name and preferred email address at the book sales table.
The authors’ books will be available to buy for book signing & conversation, and beer, wine, soft drinks, and snacks will be available for purchase. Bring a friend! Free of charge. Ample parking available at Real Art Ways.
