We welcome writers of all genres and experience levels to join us and share their poems, stories, and essays with our audience. The evening starts with a potluck meal at 6:00 PM, bring a dish to share or not, there is always enough. The open mic style readings start at 6:30 PM.

“ Zeek Taylor is an Arkansas treasure, his stories of his youth reflect a forgotten time in the south” stated Nancy Paddock WCDH Workshop Coordinator.
