Bards Reading From Page One

Come, one and all, to the Bards Reading From Page One poetry reading series, sponsored by The Bards Initiative! We run at Page One on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, with a new feature every time, followed by an open read where everybody's welcome to read with open arms!

Bards Reading From Page One is a fun, intimate reading, with few formailites and even fewer rules. We welcome all forms and styles of poetry equally, including whatever yours might be, so there's no excuse not to come by!

This time, our feature comes all the way from NYC! In addition to her poetry, she's the lead guitar, singer, and songwriter for indie band We Are Fireflies: An Incandescent Firefly! Open read sign-up is at 7:30, and the feature goes on at 8. You don't want to miss out on this rare fusion of music and poetry, all in the same night!

All Bards Initiative readings are free to attend, but we greatly appreciate any donations you can give us. In addition, head chef and co-owner Jeanine DiMenna offers up a special $5 "bar menu" at all of our readings (if you'd prefer to see their standard fare menu, price fix, or reduced-fare "bailout" menu, please ask your server). We highly encourage you to come, relax, and enjoy some dinner with your poetry.

The Bards Initiative is a multi-purpose poetry project dedicated to providing avenues for poets to shaire their work and encourages the use of poetry for social change. In addition, the Initiative aims to make use of modern technologies to help spread, encourage and inspire poetry particularly in the younger generations. It is the core belief of the Bards Initiative that poetry is the voice of the people and can be used to help create a sense of sharing and community.

NOTE: This is an uncensored poetry reading series. By attending, you accept that we are not liable for any offense you may take to the poetry you hear.

Thank you, and I hope to see you all at our readings.
