Emceed by Glenn North, award-winning poet, activist, educator, and arts executive, the Midwest Poets Series will showcase eight incredible voices from within our local community. Featuring short readings by Justin Hamm, Glenn North, Natasha Ria El-Scari, Melissa Ferrer Civil, José Faus, Jordan Stemplman, Gustavo Adolfo Aybar, and Marcus Myers, the evening will include a reception and book signing. The event is free and open to the public. We look forward to celebrating the vibrancy of our local arts and literary landscape.
