April 21: Join us at the Stick Figure Open Mic.
Parisian Phoenix staff (publisher Angel Ackerman, poet Darrell Parry, editor Nancy Scott and authors/artists TBD) will attend the Stick Figure Open Mic in support of National Poetry Month. The recurring event occurs on the third Thursday of the month at Mary Meuser Memorial Library, 1803 Northampton Street, Easton, PA, 18042, at 7 p.m. All types of performers welcome. The event takes place in the library “Annex.”
Darrell Parry and daughter, Eva, founded the open mic and publish the quarterly online publication, Stick Figure Poetry Journal, stickfigurepoetry.com.
Parisian Phoenix staff will have copies of Darrell’s poetry book, Twists: Gathered Ephemera, and the anthology Not an Able-Bodied White Man with Money, which features Darrell’s poem, "Small and Crooked," and Eva’s essays. Books can be purchased for $10 each, cash or credit card.
In other news, Parisian Phoenix plans to record audio at the open mic as a test for their potential upcoming podcast. Angel has mapped out an entire season of potential episodes, with each opening with an audio recording of a portion of a specific Parisian Phoenix title and then hosting a discussion about the actual craft of writing using that segment as a conversation starter.
