It’s all open mic tonight at Tree with a bonus speaker Poet Laureate of Santa Barbara, California, David Starkey, to kick off the July 13th evening at 8 o’clock.
The main reading begins each time with a reading in tribute to a local or world poet who has passed on. There’s one or two open mics and the feature.
