Description and Reader Names: So the Browns are gonna be better than the Steelers this year, the axis of the earth is shifting and within twenty years Lake Erie will feel more like Lake Okeechobee. These are all things we have done to ourselves so let's celebrate it rather than fight it. In that spirit of celebration we have 3 great Cleveland poets, 1 former Greensburger who now splits time between Toledo and L.A and everywhere in between and 1 Pittsburgher to read you poems at the EEBX of Friday Sept 27. Bios below. Come see and hear what you know you will like.
