Old Catpiol Books and the Close to Home Collective present their first online workshop, Sublime Imprecision: The Magic of Rough Edges, led by Janice Blaze Rocke and Marc Zegans on Thursday, May 28, 7pm-9pm. Registration is required. Please register online here.

In this workshop we will explore nuanced ways of writing about topical issues and events, emphasizing the role of the senses in grounding oneself in the writing process. We’ll examine how subtle and offbeat approaches can help consumers of our creative work think mindfully about complex phenomena that on the surface appear simple.

Please note: this event has been postponed. Old Capitol Books and the Close to Home Collective present the return of the Rubber Chicken Poetry Slam hosted by Garland Thompson, Jr., on Wednesday, June 3, 7:30pm-9:30pm. And now, for the first time, we're doing it online!

Come perform or witness the competitive poetry event that has become a local institution. Come strut your stuff, or watch the slam unfold as a spectator. Poets should sign up here on the day of the event.
