Jim McCrary and friends
5 pm Sunday, September 18th
Join us in celebrating the release of Jim McCrary's new chapbook, A Yearbook (Shirt Pocket Press, 2016), and Jim's 75th birthday! The evening will begin with celebratory poems from a variety of poets near and far and will be headlined by Jim reading from A Yearbook. There might even be cake--and there will definitely be drinks served up by our beloved Ian. It's going to be a fun night.
