Norah Bowman Book Launch ft. Open Mic Holiday Special

Special Holiday Open Mic event! Join us for an evening of poetry, prose, and music at BNA Burger! IWC is delighted to be hosting the launch of Norah Bowman’s newest book, My Eyes Are Fuses (Caitlin Press, 2024), featuring a Holiday Special Open Mic.
First, we will open with a holiday-themed open mic. Will IWC learn the true meaning of the holidays? Bring your festive writing and holiday outfits to find out! Next, local firedancer Alana Greenwood will offer a poetry performance. The evening will culminate with a reading and interview with author and artist Norah Bowman!
Anyone can join for the open mic (music, poetry, fiction, dance, comedy, you name it, we welcome it).
SIGN UP IS AT 6:30PM SHARP WHEN OUR DOORS OPEN. TYPICALLY, WE HAVE A LINE BEGIN OUTSIDE THE VENUE BY 6PM FOR THOSE WANTING TO GET ON THE SIGN UP SHEET. DON'T BE LATE OR YOU WON'T GET ON STAGE!
