Gumbo Bottoms Open Mic ft. Agnes Vojta

Welcome to our April gathering of the Gumbo Bottoms Single Pot Still Poetry Society! This month we have Agnes Vojta with us, bringing a taste of the grace of nature and romantic science! She will feature at the beginning of our evening, after which we will have a brief break and our traditional roundhouse open mic.

Agnes Vojta grew up in Germany and now lives in Rolla, Missouri where she teaches physics at Missouri S&T and hikes the Ozarks. She is the author of Porous Land, The Eden of Perhaps, and A Coracle for Dreams (Spartan Press) and of a chapter in Wild Muse: Ozarks Nature Poetry (Cornerpost Press, 2022.) Her collection Love Song to Gravity is forthcoming from Stubborn Mule Press in spring 2025.

Agnes is associate editor of Thimble Literary Magazine and host of the Poetry at the Pub reading series in Rolla. Her poems have appeared in a variety of magazines; you can read some of them on her website agnesvojta.com.
