The Holler Poet Series will have its 88th installment tonight with two debuts: upfromsumdirt and Bianca Bargo.

upfromsumdirt is the nom de plume of Ron Davis, one of the owners of The Wild Fig bookstore in Lexington, Kentucky. The Wild Fig is currently celebrating reopening at its new location. upfromsumdirt is also celebrating his book release, Caul and Response, a collection of poetry and artwork.

Bianca Bargo’s newest chapbook is How I Became an Angry Woman (Accents Publishing) which, according to Sarah Freligh, is a book that “autopsies a doomed love”. You can get a copy by clicking here, or you can read some of the poems by clicking here.

Musical guest Shaker Ray is a project from Thomas Usher, also known for Long Jumper and occasionally filling in with the Blind Corn Liquor Pickers.

Open Mic sign-ups begin at around 7pm and the show starts at 8pm. For more information, visit the Facebook Event page.
