Almost Uptown Poetry Cartel, Harrisburg

Our PoetryThursdays reading series celebrated its fifteen-year anniversary in 2014. This long-running series, a cartel mainstay since 1999, began in a small coffeehouse called Sweet Passions on 3rd Street, in Midtown, near Nick's Cafe, and continued through numerous downtown venues. Most recently, before moving to the Midtown Scholar, we were at the Midtown Cinema.

Versification scientists have ascertained that all the poems we've read, every week, over an eleven-year span, if laid end-to-end, could stretch to the moon and back. Really-- do the math.

Poetry events, all open to the public, are happening every Thursday at the Internet Cafe at the Midtown Scholar Bookstore, 1302 North Third Street. More info: (717) 236-1680.

The Harrisburg Midtown area is experiencing an exciting cultural Renaissance and, by golly, we're excited and proud to be part of it. You come too. Be part of an exciting time in literary history. Our reading is free and open to the public. Read out loud, taste the words, share your favorite poets, or your original poetry and prose.

Listen, read. Engage. C'mon out-- join in the excitement. We need your spirit, your voice, your support, to make this work.

See you Thursday!?
