Join us for the last Beer & Broadsides of the summer, with special guest poet Sophia Le Fraga!
As always we invite you to bring a poem to share at the informal salon-style open mic on the front porch.
We'll have delicious local beers and seltzers, snacks and books. We also will letterpress some broadsides of poems to take home for free! Guests are encouraged to help "pull" a broadside off the press, and we're happy to show you how to even typeset!
These events are meant to spark conversations around poetry, book arts and community.
Children and pups are also welcome.
And feel free to bring a beverage or snack to share!
