Come to the Old Forge Open Mic at 7 p.m. on May 16, to share your writing on stage.

Writer Glenn Miley, will host the evening at the Old Forge Library. Miley will read some of his own work and open the stage for others to share a short selection in a welcoming, coffee house environment.

Whether you’ve been waiting for the right time to debut your work or you’re a veteran of the open mic scene, you’ll find an appreciative audience.

Miley, from Sherill NY, is a two time winner of the Old Forge Library poetry contest, a winner of  Whitesboro’s Dunham Library poetry contest, and received second place in the American Pen Women/Post-Standard contest. He does public readings around the area.

“I like to review my day each evening and ask: What did I see today that sparkles in some way?” Miley says. “When I am out of ideas, I try to write from another viewpoint.  For example:  I am a June bug or I am a Civil War soldier.”

Come to the open mic to hear some of Miley’s unique perspectives, and to share your own.

The open mic is cosponsored by the Adirondack Center for Writing, a resource and educational organization that provides support to writers and enhances literary activity and communication throughout the Adirondacks.
