Midway through National Poetry Month (even though every month is poetry month at The Word Barn!), The Silo Series will be presenting Maggie Dietz and her new collection of poems!
The reading will begin at 4 pm (doors at 3:30).
Can't wait to see you there!
The Word Barn's Sarah Anderson will be reading a few poems herself.
Also, as this is a book launch of sorts -- at least it's a Word Barn book launch, come prepared to buy a book if you are able!
Maggie might even buy you a drink after you buy her book. :)
See you on April 12!
The event is free ($5/person suggested donation), but we ask that you register to save yourself a spot.
