Why?

Because this is an amazing place and not just because I’m Irish and they have great food & drink. Don & Terry’s Pub is a beautiful place that has a lot of history& class  and for the first time in quite awhile I’m looking forward to creating a monthly event that will be something new and exciting. And it’s going be just that.

It’s time.

With a nod to all the friends & poets who came before us –

To all the wordsmiths from the streets

To all the professors & their students

To all the ladies with words to speak

I welcome you all & officially invite you to the 1st
