August 1st, a Poets' Cruise on the Pride of the Susquehanna

Going nautical, the Almost Uptown Poetry Cartel is hosting Poets' Cruise 2017 on August 1st. Imagine-- rolling down a river of verse on the very river that, back in the day, bewitched both Coleridge and Bob Southey. 
Join us, set sail on the Pride of the Susquehanna, and enjoy an evening of poetry on our inaugural Poets' Cruise featuring Harrisburg Poet Laureate, Rick Kearns. 

Adult beverages will be available-- this is a 21+ event. Come mingle with the art community and be inspired. Believe-you-me, this event will be truly buoyant!

It's all happening from 6pm-9pm on Tuesday, August 1st. 
The Pride will be docked from 6pm-7pm, and then embark for two hours of verse,  and more. Tickets are $8, in advance, $10 at the dock.

June 20, Midtown Scholar: Hotter than a matchstick,

cooler than a splash of white paint splattered 
on summer concrete and asphalt!


An open mic poetry reading beckons verse enthusiasts
June 20 to the Midtown Scholar Bookstore, 7 to 9pm. 
The excitement is, as always, hosted by the infamous Almost Uptown
Poetry Cartel. Yeah, I mean, it's, like, a happening every week.

               No sign-up sheet, it's all done Quaker-style-- read,
               share as the spirit moves you. Or not.
                                      Chill, just listen or, make a splash. Your call.

                                                              White paint on asphalt and concrete.

Why not make a splash? There's a sophisticated, yet supportive

audience who wants to catch your wave. Your vibe. Heck,
you listen, you read--you and the audience
are one and the same, Whoa!   
                                                  How'ja like them apples?

            Seriously, everything's waiting for you.
           1302 North Third Street, Harrisburg, PA 17102.
