Open Mouth Reading Series

A monthly reading series featuring local and visiting poets, as well as single-poem readings from poets and supporters of poetry in the community. Open Mouth Reading Series, a 501(c)3 organization run by M. D. Myers, J. Bailey Hutchinson, and Molly Bess Rector, began in October 2015, with *Mary Angelino as our featured reader. Our vision is to bring together traveling and local poets in monthly celebration of poetry-as-community.
