Tonight at 7:00 bring some beer and your best material to Joplin Empire Market for an Open Mic Poetry night co-hosted by Post Art Library and Connect2Culture. Your favorite bar stool story tellers from Pub Hound Press will be there along with a special guest, Aliki Barnstone. That's right, the state's Poet Laureate!

Come hang out, have a drink, read a poem, and preview the market space before it opens this weekend.

Cheers!
