The OU Write Club invites you to join them for their first open mic reading of the semester. Tonight's featured reader is Lauren Zuniga, locally and nationally known performance poet and teaching artist. As Rachel McKibbens, winner of the 2009 Women of the World Poetry Slam has said, "Her poems are massive; brimming with the wit, heart and humanness we all crave from our leaders. Unlike so many artists, she understands her purpose. She puts her life on the line. Her poems are the quiet protesters whose existence is proof that the world can, in fact, be fixed. Think of the photograph of the man standing before a line of tanks in Tiananmen Square, and you'll get an idea of what Zuniga's poetry is willing to do for you."
Please bring yourself, your poetry, your fiction, or just your desire to be moved by words. We'll see you at Cafe Plaid tonight.
