Join us for the first F-bomb of the new year on Tuesday January 16 at Mercury Cafe! Our event starts at 7:30 PM, with open mic sign-up for 4-minute slots starting around 7:00. Bring your flash fiction (or whatever else you’d like to share) and join us for a fantastic event, hosted by OG F-bomber Nick Morris and long-time sensational reader Dakota Yaffe as our feature! We hope to see you there!

HOST NICK MORRIS is the curator of the F-Bomb Reading Series, as well as a professor of humanities at Community College of Denver, a musician, the author of the short story collections Tapeworm and The Boy in the Well, an expatriate of the Deep South, a graduate of Arkansas Tech University and Naropa’s Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, a former editor of the literary journals Nebo and Bombay Gin, a resident of Denver, and a mostly-capable moderator of F-bomb Zoom Rooms.

FEATURED READER DAKOTA YAFFE is a lover of the human need for connection, even if she’s too ornery to admit it. A poet, a giant nerd and endlessly fascinated by all things with wheels. Her writing is somewhere between and often both maniacal musings and heart felt pleas for those on the outskirts of society. She is passionate about issues such as mental health, gender, religion and love. She can generally be found on her motorcycle or working on cars. She has ridden solo across the country multiple times on an old Harley she built and takes any chance to disappear into the far reaches of the world. Her writing can be found on https://theunicornandthemonster.wordpress.com/ or on Instagram @theunicornandthemonster
