This open mic is born from the relationship between best friends, Aimee Herman and Rebecca Diaz. They met as undergrads in the writing program at Naropa University over a decade ago. Since then, they've emailed many lines of poetry and written letters, collaborating on multiple projects inspired by friendship and each other's words, ideas, and creativity. Every month, they look for a poet to feature and then invite that poet to choose their closest friend and co-creator to join them. Every show will have 10 slots on the open mic, friendship trivia intermission & prizes, and then features will go on in the last half.
This month's Friendship Goodybag will feature the stylings of Cortney Collins & Martin Dadisman
Cortney Collins is a poet living on the Front Range with her two beloved feline companions. Cortney is founder of the pandemic-era virtual poetry open mic community, Zoem, which produced two editions of an anthology of its poets’ (otherwise known as “The Magpies”) work. Her poetry has appeared in various online and print journals. She holds a B.A. in Religious Studies and a J.D. with a focus in Native American law, both from the University of Arizona. Cortney loves poetry in community and continues to be active in poetry communities.
Born in a cabin, he built himself, and raised by wolves, Doc Martin is an enigma. Part 18th century Scottish Jacobite, 1950s beatnik poet, and 2020s all-around eccentric, this bohemian time traveler is the guy you didn’t know you needed. He’s sweet, he’s loyal, and if you get too close, you’ll stick. A rectal impressionist, and an illiterate poet. A proud Luddite, enjoying the fall of western civilization. Raised on hosed water and neglect.
