On the last Tuesday of each month, OPWC presents a featured reader and open mike. Our headliners comprise writers of regional to national prominence. Admission is free, tho’ donations welcome. We meet at Nightbird Books, 205 W. Dickson St. in Fayetteville. Here’s our Facebook page.

The program is 7-8:30 p.m. at Nightbird Books. We begin and end with an open-mike for poetry and prose, with a 4-minute limit. We love new writers!

Coming Up

The collective has been honored with donation of a new book of poetry every month from the University of Arkansas Press — and the raffle is free!

After the guest reader, a hat is passed to provide the guest a small stipend and to help fund future readings.

Often, featured readers offer their own books and chapbooks (and sometimes CDs and DVDs) for sale, autographed.
