We’re kicking off the second grown up book fair with a Calliope’s open mic!
…
We’ll be meeting in the new exciting cafe space of 120 N. 1st with a happy “two” hour poetry event!
…
All are welcome to sign up- but message me (Callie) soon so we can get you on the line up
…
Theme: I Don’t Want to Grow Up
…
Remember - open mics are for those reading but ALSO for those who just want to listen. Showing up for your literary creative friends is what this weekend is all about.
…
Along with this: the whole event came from Tati and I wanting to bring ya’ll together and to bring that sense of wonder we experience when we were kids - opening a book- seeing the cover- jumping into a story…. Flowing with a story or an adventure or falling into a beautiful poem. So come be a part of that. Really looking forward to seeing your face 😊. Sign up on the Facebook event- tagged in my bio 🎉 ✨✨✨
