Welcome to Poetry at the Lion! All poets and poetry fans are welcome!

Each month, a featured poet will read from their works and shape the evening’s experience. Poetry lovers can stop on their way to eat out or bring a brown bag meal and stay for the whole evening. Light refreshments will be provided.

The featured poets for November will be Tyler Michael Jacobs, author of The Weight of Drought and Building Brownville (both published by Stephen F. Austin State University Press) and his guest reader, Holly Pelesky. She is the author of Quiver and Cleave.

Both Tyler and Holly will read from their books of poetry and take questions from the audience. They will also have books available for purchase, which they would be pleased to sign if asked.
