Event Details:
📅 Saturday, May 9th, 2026
🕖 7 - 8:30 PM
📍 Tenn Street Coffee & Books 4418 Tennyson St., Denver, CO 80212
☕️ FREE to attend!
What to Expect:
In a world of endless scrolling and 30-second content, poetry asks us to do the radical thing: slow down. Listen. Feel. Sit with language that was carefully chosen, deliberately placed, and meant to be experienced in real-time.
Brian and Kim each bring their unique voices and perspectives to the evening, creating a reading that's as diverse as it is moving. Whether their words make you laugh, pause, tear up, or see something differently - you'll leave feeling something genuine.
There's something about hearing poetry read aloud in a coffee shop that can't be replicated. The words hang in the air between sips of coffee, settle into the corners alongside our books, and create a shared experience between poet and audience that only exists in that moment.
This evening is perfect for:
✨ Lifelong poetry lovers looking for their next favorite poet
✨ Curious newcomers who've never been to a reading before
✨ Writers seeking inspiration and creative community
✨ Date nights that actually spark meaningful conversation
✨ Anyone who believes words still have the power to move us
✨ Solo adventurers who want to experience something different
