Next up! It's always fun to see Ray McNiece
and the band perform (both by themselves and with other writers). And
this month I get the honor of being their featured poet. Hope to see you
there this Sunday! Please bring something (maybe spooky) to share
during the open mic. Sunday 10/24/2021 at 6 p.m. Eastern.
From the press release:
Tongue-in-Groove Poetry Jam is back live at the Fillmore. Heights Poet Laureate Ray McNiece will host, with Al Moses on guitar, Nick Marino on bass, Michelle Clark on percussion and Tim Lachina on harmonica. Ohio Beat Poet Laureate John Burroughs will be our featured poet. Bring a poem to share (backed by the band if you wish) during the open mic.
Burroughs
serves as the State of Ohio Beat Poet Laureate (2019-21). A nationally
touring writer, his most recent books include Rattle & Numb:
Selected and New Poems, 1992-2019 [2019, Venetian Spider Press] and Loss and Foundering [2018, NightBallet Press]. John recently curated the
Poetry+ reading series in Lakewood, Ohio, and since 2008 has served as
the founding editor of Crisis Chronicles Press.
