Immersing herself in wildlands re-emerging after a devastating fire, she reassembles her own fragmented identity and learns how to embrace the physical world around her and accept a limitless way of processing her story. Through an ecopoetic lens, Go Forth calls on the contemporary woman’s innate knowledge of how to craft a life apart from traditionally prescribed roles. The collection suggests how we each might etch new narratives to fit our awakening self-possession and determination.#ecopoetics #poems #femalepoets #poetry #healingfromabuse #ecstaticpoetry #poema #californiapoetry #poesia - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/elk-grove/poetry-open-mic-night-at-the-bookstore-w-gabrielle-myers/100001998375591188 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, open-mic, performances, food-drinks, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-09-19T01:00:00Z - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: A Seat at the Table Books - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 7.29, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Elk Grove - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: A Seat at the Table Books - **lat**: 38.42167930000001 - **long**: -121.398312 - **full address**: A Seat at the Table Books, 9257 Laguna Springs Drive, Elk Grove, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Poetry Open Mic Night at the Bookstore w/ Gabrielle Myers - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/9406d4ac5d473cd5cd49ce7aef6af1ffd77862c5749d3d1d3f3fade60880a7f4-rimg-w1200-h600-dc380898-gmir.jpg?v=1787117284 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Poetry Open Mic Night at the Bookstore w/ Gabrielle Myers being held? - **A:** Poetry Open Mic Night at the Bookstore w/ Gabrielle Myers takes place on Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 06:15 pm to Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 07:45 pm at A Seat at the Table Books, 9257 Laguna Springs Drive, Elk Grove, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Poetry Open Mic Night at the Bookstore w/ Gabrielle Myers? - **A:** Poetry Open Mic Night at the Bookstore w/ Gabrielle Myers is organized by A Seat at the Table Books. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at A Seat at the Table Books's events? - **A:** Attendees have given A Seat at the Table Books a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
