This is a good idea, since Hoboken seems to be teeming with writers and those who read! I am a poet who reads sometimes at the Ristra Lounge on Tuesdays. It is predominately music right now, that's why I would encourage writers to come to the Open Mic's sponsered by Hipnosis Magazine (
www.hipnosis.com ). I have discovered how important it is to be able to connect with an audience, and reading my stuff publicly has provided me with the forum to do that. I would encourage anyone interested and ready to connect, to please come down on Tuesday nights ready to read. Sign-up is at 8pm, but the show doesn't get underway until 9pm.
