Doc's Music Hall


I read at an open mic at Doc's Music Hall in Muncie, Indiana last Thursday night. The open mic, hosted by Desiree, is weekly on Thursday nights from 8pm-10pm. Just before the rock bands come on. The best part of the venue is that Doc usually plays keyboards behind the poets.

Here is a photo of Richard Plfum reading at Doc's.

Poetry Reading - Indianapolis Artsgarden Monday April 30, 2007 - 12:15 pm

I will be reading poetry at the Indianapolis Artsgarden in the (Circle Centre Mall) on Monday, April 30, 2007 from 12:15 pm - 1:15 pm. I will be one of 3 poets reading as part of a weekly series of readings for National Poetry Month organized by Indiana's Poet Laureate, Joyce Brinkman. The other poets at the reading will be Phoenix Cole and Tasha Jones, both from Indianapolis.

The official publicity on the Indiana Poet Laureate website incorrectly says April 27th. Apparently the Artsgarden double-booked. For whatever reason, the date was changed to Monday, April 30th:
