Join us for Poetry Open Mic with Featured Reader: Chris Dahl

Read your poetry, short prose, or fiction for a suggested 5-minute time limit. Limited reading slots are available. Show up early to sign up.

Poetry Open Mic is on the last Saturday of every month

Chris Dahl hopes to cup a handful of murky pond-water and reveal another world half-hidden in this one. Her book, Not Now but Soon, won Concrete Wolf’s 2024 Louis Award. Mrs. Dahl in the Season of Cub Scouts, a chapbook, was published after winning Still Waters Press “Women’s Words” competition. Her poems have been placed in a wide variety of journals—recently in The Mainstreet Rag and Thirteen Bridges—and she has had poems nominated both for Best of the Internet and a Pushcart Prize. A board member of the Olympia Poetry Network, she edits their monthly newsletter, and shares her life with her husband and a tuxedo cat once named Minnow, but now called Sylvie.
