NightBallet Press and Crisis Chronicles Press, both out of Cleveland Ohio come to KC to celebrate National Poetry Month with InterUrban ArtHouse and FountainVerse.

Dianne Borsenik and John Burroughs are both independent small press poetry publishers traveling to KC for a fantastic featured reading to share their own poems and set up a pop-up book store of some of America's leading indie press poets.

Powers presents "Gasconade" published by NightBallet Press. Preu presents "More Poems About Purple Wizards and other Neon-Bright Exceptionalisms" by EMP Press.
