Free and open to the public

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.

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

September’s featured reader will be Colin James Sturdevant. 

Colin James Sturdevant writes poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction. His work has appeared in Glass Mountain, Bluestem Magazine, Crab Creek Review, The Bayou Review, and others. He won second place in the Adoptee Reclaimed Poetry Contest in 2021. He is the founder and editor of pass the salt presse which houses table//FEAST Literary Magazine. He’s also the bar fool, host, and curator of bar//DRINK Reading Series and is one of the three masterminds behind Houston Poetry and Arts Festival. He’s more interested in you, dear reader.
