Admission is free. The event occurs monthly the second Friday of every month at King's Books. Sponsored by the Tacoma Arts Commission and the Puget Sound Poetry Connection.

Lois P. Jones believes in all manner of flying and can claim skydiving and hot air ballooning as her introduction to highfalutin'. When she isn’t dreaming of dirigibles, she makes herself useful as co-founder of Word Walker Press, co-producer of Moonday’s monthly poetry reading in Pacific Palisades, CA (with Alice Pero) and guest host of Pacifica Radio's Poet’s Cafe (KPFK, 90.7 in LA). She is the Associate Poetry Editor of Kyoto Journal. Her work has been published in Rose & Thorn, The California Quarterly, Kyoto Journal, Prism Review and other print and on-line journals in the U.S. and abroad. New poems forthcoming in Arsenic Lobster and Goldfish Press.
