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.

December’s featured reader will be Eva Skrande. Eva Skrande’s third book, The Boat that Brought Sadness into the World, has just been released from Finishing Line Press. She is also the author of “My Mother’s Cuba” (Volume 7 of the River City Poetry Series) and Bone Argot (Spuyten Duyvil Press). Her work has appeared in numerous national and international literary magazines. She has received fellowships from the Creative Writing Program at the University of Houston, the Inprint Foundation, and the Houston Arts Council. Eva has taught Poetry Writing and Creative Writing to people of all ages. She is a faculty tutor at Houston Community College as well as a writing coach and founder of Write for Success Tutoring.
