A space where readers and writers can connect and celebrate storytelling

Poetry Night with Byway Books

June 28th, 2025: We hosted our first poetry night with pop-up poetry bookstore based in Louisville, Kentucky, Byway Books who curated the poetry selection for the evening. Byway Books is built to share and gather around the power of poetry in our beautiful, burning world.

We had drinks, snacks, and poet lovers who left with new friends. Joining us for the evening were our phenomenal poets Cathy Linh Che, Michelle Peñaloza, and Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo, who read from their works.
