Words on Fire: Poetry Happy Hour at Firehouse

River City Poets are back at Firehouse for an evening of inspiration and camaraderie! We'll kick off the night with time to grab a drink at the bar & reconnect with fellow poet-peeps, then get the poetry rolling with feature performances before ending with an open mic opportunity under the bright lights of Firehouse's center stage.
Join us as we welcome Bedford, Virginia poet Adam Hughes as our night's feature performer! Adam is this fall celebrating the release of his 5th collection, PLUCK, from BOA Editions. You can check out more about him and his work at adamhughesauthor.com.
Open mic signup is onsite starting at 5:45pm.
$5 suggested donation at the door.
