Inner Moonlight

Inner Moonlight is the monthly poetry series at the Wild Detectives! Our show is the second Wednesday of every month. Meet us in the backyard at 7:30pm on Wednesday March 12th for a live reading from one featured writer, with a brief open mic to follow. This month, we are proud to present poet Jessica Manack!
