PPN Presents + Open Mic: Stir — What Stirs You Up?
What stirs you up?
With midterm elections and Thanksgiving on the horizon, November can be a particularly stirring time of year.
Politics, family, memories, traditions, love, loss, faith, and pop culture—along with all the complicated feelings that come with them—often rise to the surface.
This evening takes inspiration from Stir (2026), a poetry collection that explores the many things that unsettle, inspire, amuse, haunt, and move us.
Its poems wander through forests, memories, dreams, Hollywood, and unexpected places, shifting between the witty, thoughtful, quirky, and darkly humorous.
Our featured speaker, Christopher J. Jarmick, will share work and insights from Stir, guiding us as we explore what gets stirred up in our own lives and on the page.
