Caffe Lena Poetry Open Mic - 04/03/2012

Caffe Lena Poetry Open Mic featuring the WomanWords Collective

A poetry open mic with featured readers that takes place the first Wednesday of every month. This month we feature poets from the WomanWords Collective. Sign up for the open mic starts at 7, the reading starts at 7:30. Each poets reads two short poems or one longer poem. Over the course of it’s 15 year history, WomanWords collective has grown from a small, Albany-based writers group to a wide-reaching network that nurtures the talents of women writers through readings, discussion groups, workshops and writing retreats. For this anniversary celebration, founder and facilitator Marilyn Zembo Day will share some of her writing, along with Kittie Bintz, Kristen Day, Kelly de la Rocha, Mary Armao McCarthy, Leslie Neustadt, Judith Prest and Lesley Tabor. Come enjoy a variety of voices, a plethora of words – and maybe even a little birthday (cup)cake!
