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 events are curated and hosted by local community members.

This month’s featured reader will be Võ Đức Quang, with Gracie Pressley as the opening poet. Võ Đức Quang (pronounced Vo The Kwang) is a bilingual poet whose poems have appeared in various online publications. His work has been commissioned for the 2022 REELpoetry International Film Festival and the 2025 exhibition “Space for Us: Afrofuturism and the Poetic Imagination” by Houston Poet Laureate Aris Kian. He is director of the Houston nonprofit Public Poetry and can be found on Instagram @vo_ducquang. More information is available on his website https://linktr.ee/voducquang.
