Monthly open mic featuring poet Marlo DeFogo, a three-time slam champion and author of Metamorphosis: The Anthology Journal. The first three poets to sign up receive a free glass of wine.
A bookstore and wine lounge where Black queer and feminist literature shares the counter with natural wine, both chosen with serious care. Author events, film theory workshops, and community salons fill the calendar most evenings, making it the kind of place people come to linger rather than browse.
