Hide-N-Speak is this Thursday!

Please accept this invite! Date night, solo, or vibing with friends; We're your go-to for good food, good people & great poetry!

"Is poetry spiritual or do we enact spiritual poetry?�Tapped into mystics by way of memories and soliloquies?�Is the spiritual simply instinct or is it an ingenious igniting energy?�Does not knowing bring on feelings of jeopardy?�Are you and me? Are we connected poetically?�Do we do it for the love of the game, would we do it if there were penalties?�Poetry is a poet's best friend, weird vibes and weird eyes are the enemy�I guess our heroics are found in stanzas, steadily, genuinely… incrementally"

A colossal thank you to everyone who’s made these 3 years more than special! We’re onto Year 4!

Each volume, each open mic is a testimony to resilience, to living instead of surviving, to perseverance and finding a shared time x space to honor that with our expressions, our presence, our poetry, and our power.
