Princeton Makes, a Princeton-based artist cooperative, and Ragged Sky Press, a local publisher focused on poetry, hosts a Second Sunday Poetry Reading on Sunday, March 9, at 4 p.m. The readings take place at the Princeton Makes store in the Princeton Shopping Center.
The March event featured poetry readings by members of the Madison Literary Society of Camden County College (MAD LIT), a 15-year-old student club dedicated to the appreciation and creation of literature. MAD LIT holds weekly meetings on a variety of literary topics, organizes periodic readings on a diversity of themes, and hosts biannual recitation contests for original student work. Keith O’Shaughnessy, a Second Sunday Poetry Reading organizer, is a full time member of the English department and has served as the MAD LIT’s faculty advisor since its inception.
MAD LIT’s readings will be followed by an open mic available to up to 10 audience members who would like to read their original poetry.
