Decade (920 Delaware St, Lawrence, KS)
Our March reading features the local small press Inside the Castle. Mike Kleine, JoAnna Novak, and Lawrence's own Candice Wuehle will read from their new books, all of which will be available for sale. This special St Gertrude's Day reading will also feature a themed open mic in honor of St Gertrude: https://junkee.com/today-is-also-st-gertrudes-day-celebrate-the-patron-saint-of-cats/53228 So bring your best St Gertrude poem to share! Please note: We're trying out a new later time and a new accessible location, so be sure to double check the details.
A little about Inside the Castle: "Our books are unique from one another but share a vision, that literature is not representational but incantatory, that books are objects that exist much like other objects in your life and home, only they have additional dimensions, not dimensions separate or distant from the ones you occupy, but involuted dimensions that only become apparent when you reach out to them." http://www.insidethecastle.org/
