If you’re a Chippewa Valley poetry lover, we’ve finally got an event for you. The Harmony Corner Café is hosting a poetry reading on Friday, September 30 to celebrate the 26th anniversary of the Wisconsin Poets’ Calendar. The reading will feature all your favorite local poets, including newly crowned Eau Claire Poet Laureate and UWEC Professor Emeritus Bruce Taylor, Al Jenkins, Sandra Lindow, and Max Garland. Harmony Corner will have food available, as well as an open bar stocked with local wines. Copies of the journal-sized calendar, which features poems by Wisconsin writers and artwork by Wisconsin artists, will also be available for sale. Come out for the social hour, which begins at 6pm, and stay for the reading, which lasts from 7 to 9pm.
