Poet and spoken word organizer Cole “Inky” Sarar releases her first book of poetry, retelling, reinventing, and creating new fairytales and nursery rhymes. Joined by world-class poets and performers, come celebrate with us. Shá Cage, Kyle “Guante” Myhre, Wonder Dave, Aimee Renaud, Khary “6 is 9″ Jackson, Ruth F. Kohtz, and Beruch Porass-Hernandez are among the performers who will be bringing something to the celebration.
We’ll be taking over the new Kieran’s location, in their aptly named Poet’s Corner. Donations accepted at the door, books will be available for sale with cash or check, for $12. The book is 44 pages long, and each poem has been illustrated by a different, talented artist from around the world- Minneapolis musician and theatre technician Dietrich Poppen, Michigan cartoonist and illustrator Meredith Rogers, L.A. illustrator and collage artist Aaron Edelson, Saint Paul set designer Andrea Heilman, and Chilean illustrator and web comic writer Juan Santapau are among the artists represented.
