Join us for our monthly Poetry Night & Open Mic! Each month features a local poet speaker, followed by a short Q&A with our host, Marlo, and book signing by the author. This Month's Featured Poet:Patricia A. Joslin grew up in southern Wisconsin, raised her family in Minnesota, and now calls Charlotte, North Carolina home. As a former educator, she is passionate about lifelong learning and volunteerism. Her debut poetry collection, I’ll Buy Flowers Again Tomorrow was published in 2023. Since then her work has appeared in a variety of literary journals. Patricia travels widely, often alone, seeking immersive experiences that inspire her poetry. She enjoys time with her four lively grandsons, who consider her a source of boundless curiosity and fun. Above all, Patricia believes that every stage of life holds its own magic—a belief reflected in both her evocative poetry and her dedication to community service. Discover more at patriciajoslin.com.
