Steve Veilleux
Welcome to the Dye & Bleach House Poetry Series!. All sessions will take place in the Dye & Bleach House Community Gallery, 156 River Road, Willington, CT.
The Featured Readers for May 15th include Karen Warinsky and Susan Powers.
The show’s format will consist of two open mic segments as well as a segment for the featured artist. Intermission will give audience and poet the chance to meet one another and the opportunity to purchase signed publications.
The open-mic segments will provide the opportunity for audience members to read their own original work. We are planning to allow for two half-hour sessions, one at the beginning of the event, and the other at the end. Readers will be given up to five minutes to present, and we will have a signup sheet.
