Poetry Marathon Benefit Reading at Woodland Pattern Book Center
There are times when the Milwaukee poetry scene might seem confined to drunken scribbles on bar napkins, and spiral notebooks abandoned to a dusty hell under bed frames. But there are plenty of local writers doing the good work of sharing their prose in public. If you don’t believe us, allow the 15-hour Poetry Marathon at Woodland Pattern Book Center to prove you wrong. More than 100 area poets will read their work from 10 a.m. Saturday to 1 a.m. Sunday. This will be Woodland Pattern’s 19th year hosting the annual festivities, and all proceeds go toward the bookstore’s various writing workshops, events, and youth literacy programs.
