Announcing a Literal Collaboration!
We’re embarking on something serenely different yet artistically related. POETRY!!
Mountain Music Parlor is honored to be the host for the April National Poetry Reading!
A beautiful longstanding cultural art that touches and weaves thru humanity and flows thru all arts in some way or another.
Join us in celebrating the world of word!
Each Thursday evening in April, 6:30
3 special Poets take the stage presenting their wondrous poems. A special time of expression, thoughts, emotions and vivid imagery as each poem reveals it’s unique blend of artistic craftsmanship, where words dance together to create a tapestry of meaning.
We don’t want you to miss a single word (!) and as most of you know, the venue is quite cozy, so don’t be late.
