Dec. 5 – Poetry Nashua: Featured Reader Brian Evans-Jones and Open Mic

Poetry Nashua: Share poems and discuss poetry on the first Tuesday of each month in the activity room on the lower level of the Nashua Public Library. Poets of all levels and ages are welcome!

On Tuesday, December 5  poet Brian Evans-Jones will be a featured reader. You may know Brian from his active participation in poetic events in N.H. as well as from his online newsletter, and workshops

Brian’s reading will be followed by an Open Mic so please bring a poem or two.

He was Poet Laureate of Hampshire, England (i.e. Old Hampshire!), before moving to America in 2014 to do his MFA at UNH. He won the Maureen Egan award from Poets & Writers in 2017, and his poems have been published in journals on both sides of the Atlantic, including The Inflectionist Review, The Café Review, Eunoia Review, Stoneboat Literary Journal, A Book of Matches, Riddled with Arrows, and Outlook Springs. He is an editor for Smoky Quartz journal, and he hosts the Poetry at The Root open mic in Temple, NH. He teaches poetry online through his website The Poetry Place.

As always, please do not hesitate to bring a poem or three to share at the open mic. Your covered container of non-alcoholic beverage is allowed by the library.  Your published works are welcomed to be sold by you, at the back table – remember to bring change for the cash sales.
