Atop An Underwood Reading Series #11 hosted by Dream Poet For Hire

We return to Philly Typewriter with jazz poems, travel stories, and songs of empowerment. We’ll channel the counterculture of the Beat Generation in community and spoken word. In addition, the typewriters will be set up to write an original scroll like Jack Kerouac’s On The Road together. All are welcome. Aspiring beatniks, dharma bums, and general poetry lovers encouraged. Come for the featured readers and stay for the open mic. A perfect community to try your hands at a typewriter and find your voice in a poem.

Featured performers include:

Juicy Judy

Rowan Mucci

Refreshments will be provided. Bring your friends.

Doors at 6pm. Open mic starts at 6:30pm.

Philly Typewriter is a wheelchair accessible venue.

Juicy Judy is a left-handed writer and interdisciplinary artist who brings worlds that are worlds apart, together. Belonging nowhere and everywhere, she writes what haunts, what fails, and what remains unseen. Her work lives at the intersection of many violences in American life. They are the 2020 Sandol Stoddard Grant recipient for Gifted Undergraduate Writers from Hampshire College. Juicy is the Spotlight Creator in Collide Zine Philly’s Issue 8, with published poetry in their Issue 9. Her two poetry pieces, “A Miracle of Child” and “Closing Doors,” are both published in InParentheses Magazine. She is recently internationally published with Wingless Dreamer Lit, featuring “An Ode to Artists.” Juicy Judy favors the bold and untold.

Rowan (they/them/themme) is a creature primarily focused on poetry and painting. Rowan believes in the accessibility of art and aims to foster community connections through authenticity and kindness. They can be found either performing at and/or hosting many of the open mic nights in South Philadelphia, and their written works appear in New Jersey’s Soup Can Magazine, Los Angeles’ Fruit Slice Magazine: Rituals, Philadelphia’s CollideZine: Issues 8 & 11, and will soon be published in New York’s newest Slut Zine(2026). In June of 2025, Rowan used their art and poetry to raise over $1K, most of which was donated to The TransLifeline, and the rest was sent directly to the Philly community. Rowan believes in the power of connectivity that comes from people sharing their lives freely, and they hope their work will inspire others to do the same.
