Inprint is proud to serve as the host for the First Fridays Reading Series. The First Fridays Reading Series is the oldest poetry series in Houston and was organized by Robert Clark from 1975-2019. Today, First Fridays are curated and hosted by local community members.

On December 1, First Friday presents Amir Safi. He grew up in College Station, Texas, is a writer and organizer based in Houston. He is a graduate of Texas A&M University and the founder of Write About Now (WriteAboutNowPoetry.com) which hosts Houston’s largest weekly poetry reading on Wednesday nights at AvantGarden. His work has been featured by The Huffington Post, Upworthy, A plus, Whataburger, Texas Monthly and more. In 2018 he received the Poetry International Prize.

Readings are held on the first Friday of each month. The program will include a featured reader, followed by an open mic.
