Second Tuesday @ Barkin’ Dog

On Tuesday, Dec. 9, the Second Tuesday Poetry Series continues with readings from Raina J. Leon and Dimitri Keriotis. Raina is a poet from the East Bay, whose book, Boogeyman Dawn, will just knock your socks off. Dimiti is a prose writer from MJC whose first collection of short stories, A Quiet Time, just came out this fall. I know both of these people will be wonderful to hear. The fun will start at 6:00. Our featured readers will be followed by an open mic, so bring a poem or two to share. Here’s the flyer (PDF) — please post, print, and share to your heart’s content. The more, the merrier!
