Parisian Phoenix-affiliated poets at Noble Quills

Everyone’s favorite Easton bookstore, Book and Puppet Company, is in the middle of a move from Centre Square to 161 Northampton Street, still in the city’s downtown district. They plan to reopen on/around September 22.

In November, Darrell Parry and McKenna Graf will feature at the Noble Quills Poetry Open Mic and Workshop (November 14, I believe at 6:30 p.m.) Organizer Magnus and I had discussed some workshop ideas— one of which focused on translating everyday events into poetry.
