Bourbon & Poetry Festival Postponed

June 01, 2020 by Mitchell Douglas

Poetry is many things: fist, balm—breath. In light of recent events, the Affrilachian Poets & our dear friends decided tonight was not the right time for the Bourbon & Poetry Festival. We will let you know when it’s rescheduled. In the meantime, donate to a bail fund or two. #BlackLivesMatter
