2014 Philly Literary Family Reunion & Potluck

Clark Park 4300 Baltimore Avenue, Philadelphia

VIA OUR FRIENDS, APIARY MAGAZINE
Us Philly poets and writers are lucky to have a beautiful & eccentric extended literary family. Over the last 5 years, APIARY's met many newfound brothers and sisters, weirdo cousins, inspiring aunties and uncles, adorable nieces and nephews, and wise grands. After a busy spring, it's time to catch up with everyone!

So on June 8, we're throwing the first annual Philly Literary Family Reunion in Clark Park. No planned readings, no speeches, no bios. Just a grill & music & any Philly poet, writer, and reader who considers themselves fam.

Bring food or drink (it's a public park, and there will be folks of all ages, so booze just needs to be non-visible and lowkey ... don't want it to be THAT kind of family reunion...). If you like, one of your chapbooks, CDs, etc to swap. And bring your family, too!

STREET THEORY: A Social Criticism Open Mic Night

The Cedar Works 4919 Pentridge Street, Philadelphia

Metropolarity presents a night of community building and sharing. We seek social criticism from the community--performance art, blog rants, monologues, critical sci-fi, thesis excerpts, protest songs--whatever. As long as it explores and dissects the world we live in today. We want to find out what our community feels about social issues. We don't want theories handed down to us from the ivory tower.

We want your real life STREET THEORY.
