We are excited to announce our featured poet for June Open Mike, poet and author Cara Lopez Lee. Sales of Cara's books will support Tucson's own Humane Borders.
Every first Friday of the month we gather together to share our love of the spoken word. You can sign up to read, or just come listen. Along the way you can enjoy the best coffee in town, find a great book, and maybe even make some friends!
