livewords november recap

A warm night in crisp November. An attentive crowd came to livewords on November 4 to hear Ian Burghan, Alex Boyd and Jill Battson wrap words around breath with grace and ease.

The open mic, our last for at least a little while, brought seven voices to the microphone. Thanks to our volunteer judges Tom Fiore and Margaret who awared best open mic reading to Kimberley Dawkins and best original poem to Nick Power.

The Black Swan as always gave us a friendly and warm place to hang and enjoy poetry. A good night.
