Flooded Poetry

Every Monday Ivy Rozen, Senior Editor of The Black Mountain Press, will host a poetry-specific open mic from 6:30pm-9pm. Each poet will be able to share 2-3 poems, and then we’ll close out the evening with a special reading from Luke Hankins: the author of several poetry collections, a collection of essays, and a volume of translations, and is the editor or co-editor of several anthologies. His work has appeared in American Poetry Review, EuropeNow, Image, New England Review, Pleiades, Poetry International, 32 Poems, Verse, World Literature Today, and The Writer’s Chronicle, as well as on the American Public Media radio program “On Being”. He is the founder and editor of Orison Books, a non-profit literary press focused on the life of the spirit from a broad and inclusive range of perspectives, and is the director of UNC Asheville’s Great Smokies Writing Program.
