IN THE COMPANY OF WRITERS
In the Company of Writers presents a series of personal and conversational dialogues featuring guest writers/poets followed by an open mic forum. The Chicago blues music of “Mr. Jimmy” welcomes you, continues during intermission and closes the evening. These inspirational gatherings will elucidate and entertain those attending. This is the second in the series and features Seasoned Poets of the Blue Ridge Helen Palmer, Gwyneth Owens Noble, and Elda Lepak, reading from their newest anthology, Embers (available on Amazon.com). What began as a poetry class in 1994 grew to be a lifelong journey into studying, writing, and presenting readings and workshops. Following their entertaining reading and discussion there will be an open mic for those wishing to share their stories, with sign-ups from 6:30 until 6:50 p.m. This series is co-sponsored by The Brandy Bar + Cocktails and the North Carolina Writers Netword. There will also be a sign-up link on The Brandy Bar + Cocktails web-site: https://thebrandybar.com/writers-open-mic/
