SoulFood Books Website / Store Location / Directions If you haven’t been to SoulFood Poetry Night, you’re missing out on a warm and vibrant poetry community! On the third Thursday of every month (second Thursday in December), SoulFood Books in Redmond, Washington, is home to SoulFood Poetry Night, an evening of engaged and engaging poetry in a magical environment. Our performance stage features professional sound and lighting systems in an inviting gallery and café setting in SoulFood Books.
SoulFood Poetry Night is curated by Michael Dylan Welch, and has been running since July of 2006. We ask one featured reader to select someone else to read with them. This process echoes the sense of community and connection that is central to SoulFood Books, brings in new voices, and helps to create harmony or contrast in our reading series. Featured readers start shortly after 7:00 p.m. After we have a break to enjoy the bookstore, its art gallery, and especially its café, we have an open-mic reading where we invite you to share your poetry. Our featured readers are mostly from the greater Seattle area, but we welcome poets from farther afield as well.
Explore this site to see future readings and past readings (with photos and bios of featured poets), directions, and other details. Hope to see you at our next reading! If you have questions or want to contact us, click the Curators link.
