Andrew Condouris and Briana Rodriguez head the Princeton Makes’ Second Sunday Poetry event on December 11 at the Princeton Shopping Center.

Condouris is a writer as well as an English teacher in the Trenton Public Schools. He graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University’s MFA program and has been published online and in print in various literary magazines. “Gone Gone All Gone,” his first collection of poems, came out this year. Here is a sample of his work:

Rodriguez works as a community organizer, and her art and poetry are directly concerned with healing through justice, reconciliation with her ancestry, and connection with her roots. She invites others to follow her on Instagram at @violent_goddess and shares the following poem.

The monthly poetry reading is cosponsored by the Princeton Makes artists collaborative and the Princeton-based Ragged Sky Press.

The free event will be held at 4 p.m. at Princeton Makes, located in the Princeton Shopping Center, next to Metropolis Hair Salon. The event includes an open mic limited to the first 10 readers to sign up, and COVID protocols are in effect.
