Open Mic: 7:30-9 p.m,

Suggested donation of $5-10 to support the people bringing you these events and of course, the featured artist, Aerik Francis.

Aerik Francis is Queer Black & Latinx poet based in Denver, Colorado. He writes with the mantra "Live Your Puns" - meaning to be attentive to both words and life's own homophones and multiple meanings.

His work finds pleasure in the mundane and plays with words towards a deeper understanding of his own complex social identities.

Recently, he was the 2019 Amiri Baraka Scholar for SWP at Naropa University. He has work published and/or forthcoming in Borderlands: Texas Poetry Review, the Santa Clara Review, Spit Poet Zine, and TSPJ.
