The Princeton-based Ragged Sky is a small, cooperative press that has historically focused on mature voices, overlooked poets, and women’s perspectives.

Princeton Makes is a cooperative comprised of 34 local artists who work across a range of artistic genres. The reading is set for 4 p.m. at the Princeton Makes shop located in the Princeton Shopping Center, next to Metropolis Hair Salon.

An open mic available to a limited number of audience members interested in reading their original poetry will follow.
