Copper Chimney Lounge Poetry Series: Mary Fox and Laurie Hollinger

Two Lansing-based poets will share their work at the Lansing Poetry Club’s March Copper Chimney Lounge Poetry Series event, running 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday (March 16) at East Lansing’s University United Methodist Church.

Mary Fox is known in the area for her spoken and written work. Alongside her two chapbooks of poetry, her writing has been published in several anthologies and literary magazines. She is also the founder of the local writers’ group Writing at the Ledges.

Laurie Hollinger is a founding member of Voices of the Revolution, a spoken-word group focused on social justice issues. Her journalism and poetry have appeared in many Lansing-based publications, and she serves as the assistant director at Michigan State University’s RCAH Center for Poetry.

Following Fox’s and Hollinger’s readings, attendees will have the opportunity to share their own work during an open mic. Those interested can sign up at the door.

Free refreshments will be served, and free parking will be available behind the church. A donation of $5 is suggested. For more information, visit facebook.com/LansingPoetryClub or call Lansing Poetry Club President Ruelaine Stokes at (517) 881-7562.
