We were so pleased when the Guild Complex asked us to help curate this monthly event with Toni Asante Lightfoot! Here’s their official explanation of what’s going down:
BYOP is a literary open house, a poetic pot luck. We invite readers and writers to leave their neighborhoods in every sense — zip code, genre and resume — to meet other creative types from the next ward, inside/outside the academy, and beyond the city limits. Each evening features a reading curated by two literary neighbors with the aim of tearing down those proverbial fences. You b.y.o.b., b.y.o.s. (snacks), and b.y.o.p. (And this month, you might want to bring your own shorts too).
We love our readers so much, we know you’ll love them too. Come out and say hi! Do come early, since the last one filled to capacity. See you there!
