YAPRS Benefit Reading

The Younger American Poets Reading Series hosted a benefit last Friday at Mars Cafe.  The event presented an opportunity for local poets to read their work.  At the end of the evening, Stacey Waite selected Joel Nathanael as the winner of the benefit contest. Joel will be reading more of his poems at an upcoming YAPRS event at Beaverdale Books.  If you couldn't make it to the benefit, here are some recaps.
