Join us this Wednesday to hear the wonderful voices of Bill Miles and Rachel Leona Kapitan!

Readings will start at 7:00 p.m. An open mic will follow, where you can share about 5 minutes of your words with a warm and friendly audience. I'll have the open mic sign-up sheet out by 6:30, so join us on this first show of Autumn and share in some fantastic talent!

Bill Miles is the current writer-in-residence at the Kerouac House. He has lived and worked as far north as the Arctic Ocean in Alaska and as far south as McMurdo, Antarctica, at jobs ranging from truck driver and bartender to advertising executive and legislator. Along the way, he's been a sky-diver, snowmobile racer, boxer, and pilot--with remarkably little success. He has one published book of short stories, ALASKA UNSALTED. Other fiction has been published in numerous literary journals. His non-fiction has appeared in  the ANCHORAGE DAILY NEWS, the ANCHORAGE TIMES, the CHICAGO TRIBUNE, and the LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVIEW.

Rachel Kapitan is a self-taught writer of the highest calibre, whose literary voice will stun you with its gritty accuracy and power.  She is currently revising her own collection of short stories, and as well as writing a novel.  Actually, two novels, because while productive, she isn't mentally sound.  She also edits on a free-lance basis.  And she loves interesting quotes. So come on out to help celebrate and enjoy some of the talent found in Central Florida!

Yours in Poetry,
