Each event has two featured poets with a youth poet opening. At the end the poets will stick around for a Q&A. Books / the event poster (freshly pressed in a limited edition run by the Write253 Pop Up Print Shop at the Washington State History Museum) will be for sale during each event. The series will kick off on January 19th with the Tacoma Poet Laureate, Abby Murray and Tahoma Literary Review's, Mare Hake.
