The Mad Poets Week in Preview: 31 May 2010

May 31, 2010, by Autumn Konopka 1 comment

It’s Memorial Day, so that means its officially summer, right? That may mean that the flow of poetry slows in some parts, but not these. This week, we’ve got two great events.

  • Tuesday June 1st, 7 p.m.: Open mic poetry at Steel City Coffeehouse in Phoenixville. Hosted by Stu O’Connor and Mary Kathryn Morgeneier. Bring your poems, your instruments, and your enthusiasm. This event is free & open to the public.
  • Thursday June 3rd, 6-8 p.m.: Light of Unity Association and Mad Poets Performance Series hits the University of Pennsylvania Bookstore in University City. This month’s line up features Jeffrey Ethan Lee, Dan Maguire, Quincy Scott Jones, Mel Brake, Tree Riesener, George McDermott, Bonnie MacAllister, and a musical/spoken performance by: Ian Wolf. Admission is $7 or $5 for students, seniors & MPS members. Proceeds benefit Philabundance.

Hope to see ya there!

It’s Monday… and again with all this rain! Blech!

Oh well, we press on into Spring, and as we press, we pause every once in a while for a great reading, a new book, a unique performance, etc. etc. etc. You just point us where to go. Get shameless and post a comment promoting yourself and your upcoming events!
