This is the official opening event of the 2018 Magic City Poetry Festival. We’ll kick the festival off with a networking mixer at Birmingham’s Studio 2500. Enjoy refreshments by Church Street Coffee and Books, a live piano performance, networking with local writers, a pop-up reading by AWC board members Ashley M. Jones and Alina Stefanescu, and an open mic for local performers, including two youth poets from Real Life Poets, Inc.
