On Sunday, November 10, at 2:30 p.m., join us at the Milhopper Library for readings from the Bacopa Literary Review 2024.
Local authors whose works are featured in the journal will read from their works.

There will also be a presentation of the hybrid visual/verbal art form known as Visual Poetry.
