About this Event
This month, the Jack Kerouac House of St Petersburg is pleased to feature one our favorite local poets Letisia Cruz during our monthly Coffee & Poetry at Jack's House. Before and after Letisia reads, our poet in residence Larry Jaffe will MC an open mic chock full of great local poets. Whether you sign up to read (with Larry) or just sit and watch, Coffee and Poetry is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
There will be a $10 Cover Charge featuring baked goods from Chef Shelley.
