Don't miss this month's Every Prose Has Its Thorn reading (held at @sdwritersink) with two captivating authors and an open-mic poetry reading to follow.

This month's authors are Jim Foley (@jamesfoleyauthor), a crime thriller novelist, and Bear Wolf (@bearwolf.poetaf), a gut punch of a poet and teacher.

Hosts: Brendan Praniewicz (@praniewicz) and Adam Greenfield (@adam92102)

How the night works:

6:30pm to 7-ish: Open mic poetry sign up. We're only doing 15 slots each night so if you want to share your poetry, get there early to get your spot.

7-ish to 7:30-ish: Our featured author will read 10-15 minutes from their book. You'll also have an opportunity to purchase a copy of their book, if available, before or after the event.

7:30-ish to 8:30-ish: Open mic poetry portion. Each poet will have three (3, tres, trois, tre, שְׁלוֹשָׁה) minutes before being played off stage with a song by the '80s hair band Poison.

8:30-ish to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯: Hang out, talk to people, buy some books from the featured author, maybe put a quarter in the gumball poetry machine, go home with a smile on your face.
