Every Tuesday is Writing Cafe at The Stacks! Learn more here.

On Tuesday, October 14th, during the second session of Writing Cafe, 6-8pm, we will be hosting Poetica @ The Stacks Coffeehouse. Our guest host, Devin Nelson, is a poet and the host of a workshop and open mic series based in Charlotte, North Carolina, called Poetica. This session will include a short workshop, time to write, and a longer-than-usual open mic. We’re excited to have him host, and hope you’ll join us in welcoming him!

Here is a link to sign-up ahead of time to participate in the Poetica Open Mic! Thank you for giving our guest host a heads up about your attendance. Pre-registration isn’t required, so if you haven’t signed up, don’t be shy, we’d still love to see you! As always, this special session of Writing Cafe is free and open to everyone. Hope to see you there!

Hayward’s Pen is a collection of poetic messages on motivation, forgiveness, love, heartbreak, enlightenment, transformation, self-worth, nature, family, and coming to terms with loss. Nevertheless, it is primarily centered around the heart and relationships.

This poetry book has four chapters that walk the reader through different stages of life. Whether it be triumphs or lessons learned, the author presents a sense of transparency that makes it difficult not to find some connection with these pieces.
