Jennifer Burd has had poetry published in numerous journals, and her first full-length book of poems, Body and Echo, was published by PlainView Press in 2010. Laszlo and Jennifer have given a number of joint readings that feature both their solo work — Laszlo singing Rumi and Hafiz poems, Jennifer reading her poems accompanied by guitar improvisations — as well as poems they’ve written together, some of which Laszlo has set to music.
Open mic is first, followed by the featured readers. New Millennium is every third Monday of the month.
