Reading for the End of the World

Poets read us into the v o i d !

It’s Earth Day and the world is ending daily—feels like that, right? So let’s embrace it in all the ways we can with a Reading for the End of the World. A mini-festival of 15 area poets reading rants, laments, dreams, plans, solutions, yawps, analyses, and all else having to do with our shared apocalypse.  The event is free, even though we aren’t.
