Ongoing contemporary poetry series organized by Ashley Roach-Freiman.
Impossible Language welcomes four poets whose range in sonic brilliance is as powerful as it is diverse. Where intimacy is also horror, where that’s a good thing. Where the bird world is a myth world is a world of uncorruptable song. Abraham Smith, Sarah Sgro, Maggie Woodward and Nathan Parker are not to be missed — kick out Halloweekend feeling haunted.
NEW LOCATION: Crosstown Arts at 430 N. Cleveland
