Open mic-- March 14 at Harrisburg's Midtown Scholar Bookstore

Open mic-- LIVE, in living color-- March 14
 at Harrisburg's Midtown Scholar Bookstore!

You know how it works. Poetry Thursdays, legendary reading series happens
every Thursday evening, 7--9pm at the Midtown Scholar.
There's always an open mic, no hassles, no sign-up sheet.
Most nights consist of two hours of performing mania.




On nights when there's a featured reader there's still an abbreviated (forty-five minute) open reading. Seating is limited.
Come early, read fast and hard (there's actually no problem with quiet, contemplative verse, I'm just trying to make this sound exciting).
High-decibel or gentle poetry, it's all good. Bless our stage with your presence, your voice. Yeah! Share your song with others.
Why not? Everything's waiting for you.




Poetry-Readings, Midtown Scholar Bookstore,
Every Thursday, hosted by the Almost Uptown
Poetry Cartel, hey, it's Women's History Month. Listen, share. Declaim.

The Scholar is located right across from the Broad Street Market. 1302 N. 3rd St. 17102. 7-- 9pm. (717) 236-1680.

Open mic, Poetry cartel, March 7, new beginnings

                      

                      Huzza-huzza! The Almost Uptown Poetry Cartel will be hosting its 
                      weekly wiz-bang-zowie open mic from 7 to 9pm on March 7 in our 
                      traditional Poetry Thursdays meeting room at the Midtown Scholar.
                      
And it's a brand new ballgame! It's Women's History Month, so what's
next for third-wave feminism as it relates to poetry? Maybe strong, bold
women declaiming new ideas in verse for a new world order. 

For a new world order-- singing hope and pride for women/female 
identified people to take heart-- to be both powerful, more articulate and tender.
                     
For poetry readings to look and sound more congressional in tone and verve.



                      




                                          Read or listen, all are welcome.  
                                   The Midtown Scholar Bookstore,
