Cousins! BYOB Poetry on Sunday Sept 25th!

Dear Cousins of Cousins,

We have a new location:
186 Carpenter Street, on the West Side of Providence

It's a lovely space for mingling and listening to readings. It's BYOB... We'll be bringing some wine, and we hope you'll bring some stuff too. Amish might even bake a cake.

But even if he overflours the cakepan, never fear because look who'll be reading for you...

Josh Harmon!
Sarah Goldstein!
Andrew Zawacki!
Karen Lepri!

All in one night, you ask, how can that be? And it all happens in an hour or so? Yes, people of Providence & beyond, we're just that lucky.

p.s. This is the "before" picture of the space (credit: Forgotten Providence)... Come see the "after" in person.
