The Humble Poets' Open Mic will be at The Stacks Coffeehouse on the last Sunday of each month, 4:00-6:00pm.

The featured reader for February is Elisa Carlsen.

Elisa Carlsen grew up in Humboldt County, Nevada. Their writing has appeared or is forthcoming in Trumpeter, Anti-Heroin Chic, Oranges Journal, Brushfire, and elsewhere. Elisa is a Poetry Editor for New American Press and the author of Cormorant (Unsolicited Press 2023), a short collection of poetry addressing the human dimension and consequence of a controversial salmon recovery project in the Pacific Northwest. 

We are encouraging poets and storytellers to come share their works, and musical accompaniments are welcome as well. The address is 1831 N. Killingsworth (between Interstate and Denver). And even though poets are generally quite wealthy, this event will be free, with only a suggested donation for those who can. Hope to see you all there!
