This month’s Writer’s Block is featuring Columbus poet and WB’s own Rachel Reid.
As First Draft host Joanna Schroeder puts it, Rachel “is a Cleveland native who attended her first poetry reading in 1997 and has been hooked ever since. After moving to Columbus in 2004, Rachel Reid became a regular at the Writers’ Block poetry night and has been known ever since as a local poet, salsa dancer, and crowd-pleasing emcee… When Rachel shares her work, the experience of listening is like watching a flock of white doves take flight – it is unexpected, entrancing, and unforgetable.”
Her feature, as always, will be followed by the traditional First Draft open mic.
For those not familiar with the night, First Draft is a poetry night where new poems and new poets are always welcome. Cover is $3 for the night. Come on out and share your *new* poetry — and be prepared for an awesome feature!
