SUMMARY:August Writer's Night - A Conversation with Danny Rosen: some things I've been thinking about poetry (and a few thoughts on publishing)
DESCRIPTION:“I will discuss how my approaches to poetry have evolved over the years. In addition to my own work\, some of the poets whose work I will cite include Robinson Jeffers\, Wendy Videlock\, Jack Mueller\, and Clark Coolidge. In the poetry I am drawn to\, the use of language is as important if not more so than the subject or the feelings expressed. I will also speak briefly on the vagaries and possibilities of publishing in the modern world.”\n\n\nAll Writer’s Night events are held at the Art Center in Grand Junciton\, 7th and Orchard.\n\n Speaker Bio\n\n\n\nDanny Rosen left Philadelphia in 1980. At University of Wyoming he studied geology to learn about what he was climbing. Over time\, all things stone and otherwise coalesced in Fruita to become Lithic Press\, then Bookstore. Publications include Suspended Erosion (Lithic Press)\, The Tuscan Journals (Cuneiform Press)\, Primate Poems (Lithic Press)\, and Ghosts of Giant Kudu (Kattywompus).

SUMMARY:Poetry Night at the Library
DESCRIPTION:Poetry Night at the Library is a monthly program at the Mesa County Library. Each month poets are invited to read their work based on a previous month’s challenge\, or any other poem they’d like to read. Then\, a new topic is discussed and a new challenge is issued. Topics range from a particular poet\, to a school of poetry\, to a new tool for your poetry toolbox such as a form or poetic device. No poetry experience is required – all are welcome! \nPoetry Night occurs the second Wednesday of every month from 6-7:45 p.m. at the Central Library\, 443 N. 6th Street\, Grand Junction\, CO 81501.

SUMMARY:WCWF Happy Hour
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow writers and WCWF board members at our monthly happy hour. It’s a great opportunity to get to know your fellow writers in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. We know you’re a bunch of introverts – come see us anyway! It really is fun. Then you can go home and rest after all that “peopling” you did. \nWe meet the third Thursday of every month from 4-6 p.m. at Kannah Creek in Grand Junction\, located at 1960 N. 12th Street. \nWe only request an RSVP if you are bringing a large party\, like 6 or so. Then we can make appropriate table arrangements. \nSee you there! \np.s. Have you checked out our blog? Lots of good information and observations for writers!

SUMMARY:Spoken Word Open Mic Night - Fourth Fridays
DESCRIPTION:Join us every month on fourth Fridays for a Spoken Word Open Mic Night from 4:30-6:00 p.m. The Western Colorado Writers’ Forum has partnered with Carboy Winery in Palisade to bring you this opportunity to read your work. We welcome poetry\, prose\, storytelling\, and slam\, and all skill levels are welcome. \nSignups start onsite at 4:15 and there is a 5-7 minute time limit. We’ve had new readers attend these sessions\, and the time limits are our effort to make sure everyone has a chance at the mic. Any time limit is not to limit your voice but to encourage inclusion. \nThis event is in the production facility on the ground level\, so there are no stairs to negotiate. It is cooler in this room because this is where they make the wine. You may want to bring an extra layer. In warmer months\, we plan to host this event outside. \nPlease note while there are a variety of beverages available\, you are not required to make a purchase to attend this Open Mic. \nLocation: 3572 G Rd\, Palisade\, CO 81526.
