Dirty Gerund Poetry Show ft Amy Argentar

Come on down to read your work, tell your jokes, bear your soul, all while accompanied by the coolest backing band since the invention of Ray-Bans. Open mic list is up at 8pm, show to kick off ~9 ; slots for first and second half, alongside a waiting list. Don't see room on the list? Talk to Nark and they'll see what they can do. Slots are 1-2 poems, 1 song, or approximately 6 minutes. Let the houseband know if you need their support ✨️

Amy Argentar is a Chicago native who is willing to hear you out on your argument that thin crust is better than deep dish but will stop listening if you don't at least acknowledge that deep dish is still in fact pizza. She is also willing to hear you out in general. Speak your truth. Her truth is that she is a Boston-based poet who draws from being the "weird kid" in her childhood, her relationship to food and the memories that food generates, as well as love and all of its flavors. She can typically be found in the basement of the Cantab Lounge with a tequila soda in one hand and a plane ticket in the other.
You can read Argentar's work currently on her Instagram account @airplane_poems, where you can also find the link to order her debut chapbook, All Burps Go to Heaven.
