Melissa Morphew will be the May poet for Open Mic Night. She is from Lawrenceburg, TN but currently resides in Huntsville, AL. Her work has been featured in The Georgia Review, Shenandoah, Parnassus: Poetry in Review, and Prairie Schooner. You don’t want to miss the magical realism of Morphew pieces.

The poet, Gray Jacobik, writes of Morphew's poems: "... a passion for the medium [language] and a deep knowledge of its possibilities, has joined with the practical skill required to make merry and make sorrowful, take us to bed and to bounty, to the odd and the familiar, to worlds-upon-worlds, and to do so beautifully, lavishly, intricately, and interestingly."

The writing prompt for Tuesday, May 27th at 6:30 is on Honeybees.
