Spark After Dark

Posted on 2014-09-04 by Bartholomew Barker

Spark After DarkA week from tonight, I’ll be reading some of my poems from Wednesday Night Regular at the Fifth Annual Spark After Dark: Erotic Poetry Burlesque Show. This will be my third time reading at this show and it is by far my favorite and not just because I get to be backstage with all the beauties. This is one of the few poetry events where I’m not reading to other poets and the crowd could not be more appreciative. It’s also the largest audience for which I’ve read at over two hundred faces.

So join me at King’s Barcade in downtown Raleigh. Doors open at 9pm and the show starts around 10pm. Take next Friday off work and enjoy a night of poetry and burlesque!
