First Friday: Poetry World Series

Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket) returns to emcee this year's Series, where baseball and poetry collide to create a fabulous and wacky literary event. Two teams of illustrious poets duke it out using words to swing for the fences. This boisterous slugfest of wordplay, repartee, and quips, mixed with ballpark music, beer, and popcorn makes for a great outing. You don't even have to like poetry or baseball to enjoy this animated and quirky program. Susan Terris and Brian Murphy will be judging. Check out our website to see the competing poets, and to sign up to attend.
