Our Little Open Mic

About Me

Maggie Sullivan and Chelsea Kurnick are the hosts of a new poetry/fiction/creative non-fiction reading series in Laguna Woods at the Starbucks located at 24100 El Toro Rd. The reading is at the corner of El Toro Rd. and Paseo de Valencia and you'll find us on the patio at 11 am every single Friday. We have featured readers every week, but you're invited to share your work as well (the Group Poems Celebre are at http://thegrouppoem.blogspot.com). Hope to see you soon!
