A full throated day of poetry & prose readings from minds on the go.

Baltimore poet Thea Brown joins the stage at Normals Books & Records for the first reading in  Some of What You Seek May Be Found Here!

Buck Downs joins the Normals stage to present his latest, Nice Nose. Nice Nose is another step forward in the evolution of the mini/micro/nano poem, using the constraints of an Instagram feed to shear off the superfluous and compress the core. A diadem of dirty diamonds for you to enjoy.

The third reader in the Normals Books lineup is none other than Joel Dailey, “an oft whispered name among those who know what’s good to read.”

The brilliant Madeline ffitch joins the Normals Stage to present her new book Avalon, Rise, an uproarious, unabashed novel of an Appalachian town, the diverse locals who make it home, an influx of white nationalists trying to take over, and the ways in which the battle brings out our light.

Rounding out the day, Normals welcomes Charles Brohawn and Chris Mason back to perform excerpts from their latest works.
