Downtown Poetry Party on  April 22 at 7:30 PM  

Poet Dave Morrison celebrates the release of his new collection Already Home (JukeBooks 2026) with a music/spoken word performance in the Blue Café, on the 3rd floor of the Camden Opera House.  

Dave Morrison is like a carpenter missing fingers – do you worry about his ability or applaud his devotion? Hailed as 'A hearty weed in the garden of American poetry' (Dispatch Magazine) Morrison's poems have been published in literary magazines and anthologies, and featured on Writer’s Almanac, Take Heart, and Poems from Here. Morrison has published eighteen books of poetry including Clubland (poems about rock & roll bars in verse and meter, Fighting Cock Press 2011) and Cancer Poems (JukeBooks 2015). After years of playing in rock bands in Boston and NYC, Dave now lives on the coast of Maine with his wife Susan.  

Admission is free and all are welcome - copies of the book will be offered for sale. Doors open at 7 PM.
