Poet and writer Lawrence Millman joins us in person at our Back Porch reading series, followed by conversation and refreshments. Books will be for sale. Exclusive ticketed event with the author and Coyote Arts Press publishers. The price of admission includes pizza from Placitas Pizza, wine, and other refreshments. Walk the Poetry Playhouse labyrinth, and enjoy the view with your hosts Jules Nyquist and John Roche. A perfect outdoor setting for Millman’s memoir told in vignettes.

Reading from his latest book: Outsider: My Boyhood with Thoreau (Coyote Arts Press). This brief memoir is composed of vignettes that highlight Millman's outsider status, both as someone who loves the outdoors, and as someone who is "outside any known social group … unless you regard mushrooms, insects, or earthworms as social groups."

Lawrence will also have copies of Goodbye Ice: Arctic Poems. Coyote Arts Press is based in Albuquerque and we welcome Lawrence as he travels on his book tour with a special stop at Jules’ Poetry Playhouse.
