Writers’ Night Out is a free monthly event for people who love the written and spoken word. On Friday, January 13 at 7 p.m. at Mountain Perk Coffee House in Hiawassee, Mary Michelle Keller will read her entertaining and heartfelt work. Audience members can also participate in an open microphone if they’d like to share their own poetry or prose.
Keller lives in Hiawassee, Georgia, is active in the North Carolina Writers’ Network and has taught at Writers Circle in Hayesville. In her writing, she draws inspiration from something she has seen or an incident that intrigues her — a casually spoken phrase becomes the cornerstone of an essay, short story or poem. Her poetry appears in several anthologies including Echoes Across the Blue Ridge. Keller also plays the piano, guitar and dulcimer and paints in oil, water color and pastels.
Writers’ Night Out takes place on the second Friday of each month and is open to the public. The event draws approximately 30 people from four counties. Mountain Perk Coffee House is located at 1390 Highway 76 East in Chatuge Harbor Plaza across from Towns County High School. Food, gourmet coffees and other refreshments are available for purchase. Each open microphone reader can sign up at the door and has two-and-a-half minutes to read.

Karen, I certainly enjoyed Writers Night Out and Mary Mike's reading. I think Writers' Night Out is great because we have time to socialize and also hear some excellent writing.
ReplyDeleteLast night we also heard from Eric on the guitar. He has a beautiful singing voice.
