The Jewel Box Poets Sunday Reading Series focuses on contemporary poetry and features two regional poets on the third Sunday of each month. The series is upbeat, energetic and entertaining. Following the readings there will be "open mic" time for those who bring a poem to share with the audience.

June 15th is Father’s Day, and is Anthology Day at the Jewel Box. We welcome author, editor and publisher David Horowitz of Rose Alley Press. David will be introducing several poets whose work appears in the press’s latest anthology “Limbs of the Pine.” Kitsap locals Byron Sacre and Ellen Elizabeth will be sharing their work with the audience. Also scheduled are Geoff Pope and Brenda Givens, both of the Seattle area. Brenda is a poet and storyteller. Born in Ruislip, England, she has lived most of her life in the Pacific Northwest. Geoff Pope teaches writing and literature for City University in Seattle.

Coming up in 2008 will be...

May: No May Poetry Event -- we surrender to Mother's Day, VikingFest & Memorial Day!
July 20: Bob McNamara & David Rigsbee
August 17: Sarah Vap & Oliver De La Paz
September 21: Penelope Scambly Schott
