It's May! That means we're done with snow, right? ....RIGHT?! But we're not done with tons of open mics, readings, performances, and assorted literary events throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania!
I'll start off with this and add more soon:
Saturday, May 3 - Scranton
Breaking Ground Poets presents Write Bloody poet Jeanann Verlee on Saturday, May 3 at 6:00 at Studio 25/8 (rear 703 North Washington Avenue, behind Cooper's in Scranton.) Tickets are $10 apiece and are available online from brownpapertickets.com.
