- **Event Name**: Donna Vorreyer & Carol Sadtler Reading + Open-Mic
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Donna Vorreyer is the author of four full-length poetry collections: Unrivered ( 2025), To Everything There Is (2020), Every Love Story is an Apocalypse Story (2016) and A House of Many Windows (2013), all from Sundress Publications. Recent work has appeared in Ploughshares, Pleiades, Poet Lore, Colorado Review, Harpur Palate, Baltimore Review, Salamander, and many other journals. Donna lives in the western suburbs of Chicago and runs the online reading series A Hundred Pitchers of Honey. She is the co-founder/co-editor of Asterales: A Journal of Arts &amp; Letters.

When Carol Sadtler’s two teen-aged daughters asked her what she studied in college and graduate school, she told them her degrees were in English and Comparative Literature.
“That’s not a job!” they exclaimed. “But that was what I was interested in,” she replied.
She says her career as an advertising copywriter, marketing communications manager and magazine editor demanded the skills she could apply to writing poetry. “My writing had to be succinct, imaginative and persuasive.” She found time outside of work to join poetry-writing groups and to have her poems published in journals and magazines. When she retired, she served as an assistant editor for RHINO and joined Plum Line Poets, a Chicago group. Her recent chapbook, Joyful Annotations from the World Outside, was published by Kelsay Books.

Poetry open-mic follows features. Poets may bring up to 3 short poems to share, though HPP reserves the right to reduce the number read to ensure all participants have an opportunity. Come a few minutes early to sign up for the line-up. *Location* Next door to movie theater. Recommend using Renaissance Place 3-hour free underground parking garage. Stairs in southeast end take you to Second Street or follow signs to movie theater. 

This is a free event; there is no cover charge. We hope attendees will support the featured poets by purchasing a book as well as support the businesses that support us. Consider seeing a film at Wayfarer Theater before or after.
