I used feel overwhelmed while reading poetry, I was afraid
that I wasn’t doing it right. A few years ago I realized that my fear was
silly. There is no right or wrong way to experience poetry, just let it wash
over you. I do really enjoy it when I can hear the words in the poet’s voice;
it brings a whole new appreciation for the work. You can do just that at
Print_Text on Monday, November 17. Bring a pillow to sit on and join five poets
for a cozy evening of poetry.
Here is a little bit about the poets:
Joel Felix is
travelling in support of his book Limbs
of the Apple Tree Never Die and is from Seattle. Patrick Morrissey is the poetry editor of Chicago Review and is
about to have his first book of poems published. Kaveh
Akbar is from Indianapolis and is a poet, editor, and educator. He founded
and edits Divedapper, serves as Poetry Editor for BOOTH. His writing has
appeared in The Best American Nonrequired Reading, , The New York Quarterly,
The Dublin Quarterly, and more. Chris
Forhan now lives Indianapolis and grew up in Seattle. He is the author of Forgive Us Our Happiness and has won
several poetry prizes. He teaches in the MFA program at Butler University. Wendy Lee Spacek also lives in
Indianapolis. She is a poet, curator of the Soft River, and unofficial
distributor of small-press books. Her work has been published in LVNG Magazine
and on-line through Monster House Press.

This is the sixth year for the Mustache Bash and
instructions are to, “make one, grow one or get one at the door!” If you don’t
have one already, show off your creativity in making a mustache to wear. The
sky is the limit. Sort of – it does have to fit under your nose. And don’t worry;
if you don’t come with a mustache you will be given an adhesive one at the door
Prize categories include the traditional, Best Real,
Best Fake and the coveted Mustache Spirit awards. This year Creepiest and Most
Uncomfortable are new categories. Judges will be mingling amongst the guests
picking their favorite mustaches, so arrive early enough to be considered
(judging ends at 11:00).

Four-time Grammy winner, Larry Carlton is known all over the
world as one of the best guitar players around. You can often see him
supporting Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, or The Crusaders. His own records are a
distinctive blend of bluesy soulfulness and plenty of jazz. He has a new
Christmas album coming out, so I bet he’ll be playing some of those. The Jazz
Kitchen is music smaller than the concert halls Carlton typically plays in.
This is a great chance to see him in an intimate setting.
