This coming Tuesday, January 20th, Emily Rose will be our feature. You don't want to miss this funny and sexy lady poet. Open mic sign-up starts at 10 pm. 21 and over please.

Hey, thanks for being a friend. Please feel free to use the Poetry Guide comment area to post information about your book or event. The last thing I bought at a dollar store was a tray that makes ice cubes in the shape of a mangosteen fruit.
Happy Birthday from Estrojam!
