Inner Moonlight is the monthly poetry series at the Wild Detectives! Curated by poet Logen Cure, the show is the second Wednesday of every month. Meet us in the backyard at 7:30pm on Wednesday March 11th for a live reading from one featured writer, with a brief open mic to follow. This month, we are proud to present poet Jess Smith!

Jess Smith is the author of Lady Smith (University of Akron Press, 2025). She is an Associate Professor of Practice at Texas Tech University, where she also directs the MFA in creative writing. See more at www.jesselizabethsmith.com.

“Follow your inner moonlight, don’t hide the madness.”
