About Strange:
David Strange is an Indianapolis-based teacher and poet. Originally from Loogootee, IN, he has called Evansville, Bloomington, and Alaska home at various times. You can find his previous work in journals like FishHook, Driftwood Press, Dogwood Alchemy, and Anchorage Press among others. His first chapbook, “Loogootee,” was recently published. David Strange organizes writing and art events in Indy, including This Could Be Everything and a monthly series called Listen, Please.

NIGHTJAR creates an inclusive space for all by bringing together spoken-word performers and page-based poets writing in narrative, lyric, and experimental forms. Every third Wednesday, C.S. Carrier and Michelle Niemann host a reading and invite audience members to share their own poetic responses.
