Quiet Lightning: Word Wizardry | Mission

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Quiet Lightning is a monthly submission-based reading series that features an unpredictable mash-up of slam poetry, academic fiction, inspiring rant dreams and just about anything else that can be said and in any way we can think to express it. We take our accepted submissions and put them in an order that weaves varying patterns of language into a compelling and oft-intoxicating double set of literary mixtape madness. And we print it all in a zine called sPARKLE & bLINK and have it available AT THE SHOW!

This is the sixth bout of QL so we asked our favorite word wizards to read. They said yes!

There aren’t any introductions. We say hello and then pass the mic like a torch. We’ve had a solid group form as the months expire and we want you to see how talented we are at the core; we’re putting a few of our pillars in the right light. See them now!

It’s been working so well with submissions we can’t wait to see what happens on June 4.

Join us. It’s cheap and you won’t forget it. Promise.
