As the days get shorter and the nights get colder, let’s gather to celebrate poems of hope and warmth—especially now, when those qualities can feel hard to find…
Join James Crews and his husband, Brad Peacock, co-editors of LOVE IS FOR ALL OF US: Poems of Tenderness & Belonging from the LGBTQ+ Community & Friends, as they share poems about love of all kinds—romantic love, self-love, family & friend love, as well as reverence for the natural world.
James and Brad will be in conversation with local poet (& Out in the Open organizer) Diana Whitney.
Come enjoy tasty appetizers, listen to love poems, and try out a simple writing practice led by James. Books for sale from our friends at Everyone's Books.
No poetry experience necessary! Supportive family & friends welcome!
