THIS IS AN INVITATION TO ALL POETS, WRITERS, READERS, AND LOVERS OF LITERATURE, YOUNG, OLD, IN BETWEEN, KNOWN, UNKNOWN, SUBMERGED, EMERGED AND EMERGING: Rhyming, free verse, expensive or expansive verse, reverses, metered, learned, unlearned, experimental—all varieties, styles and non-styles are welcome! The reading series, the J&J Sunday Poetry Jam (renamed in tribute to much-loved poets Joe Smith and Janferie Stone, who passed away recently) is located at the Cobalt Gallery, 430 Main Street in downtown Fort Bragg.

The readings are the 3rd Sunday of the month, 4–6 pm. The next J&J Sunday Poetry Jam is Sunday, August 16, featuring Michelle Penaloza, followed by open mic readings. There is a signup sheet and each poet reads for 5 minutes. Please get this around far and wide, as we’d like to reach all over Mendocino County and beyond. Any suggestions or ideas you have, including other people to invite, would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks to Flockworks—a community-based non-profit that provides “resources for artists, teachers, and community members to engage in arts-inspired activities and initiatives on the Mendocino coast”—who has graciously provided a space for the readings.

Look forward to seeing you Sunday, August 16th at the J&J Sunday Poetry Jam.
