Flight Recorder is bringing you a brand new evening of poetry, only at The Tank! We chose the name because we believe that art can tell us where we are, where we’re going, and where we’ve gone wrong*. Come early to sign up for our poetry open mic, where each reader gets 3 minutes. Stay for the bold, urgent work of our amazing featured poets!

Hosted by Mike Fracentese; featuring Kayla Schwab, Laura Eve Engel, and Rax King.

Laura Eve Engel is the author of Things That Go (Octopus Books). The recipient of fellowships from the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center, the Wisconsin Institute for Creative Writing and the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation, her work can be found in The Awl, Best American Poetry, Boston Review, The Nation, PEN America, Tin House and elsewhere.

Rax King is a dog-loving, hedgehog-mothering, beer-swilling, gay and disabled sumbitch who occasionally writes and works as assistant editor for Sundress Publications. She is the author of the collection The People's Elbow: Thirty Recitatives on Rape and Wrestling (Ursus Americanus, 2018). Her work can also be found in Catapult, Electric Literature, and Autostraddle.

Kayla Schwab is a Brooklyn-based poet, Spotify addict, and soup aficionado. She is an active member of Sweet Action Poetry Collective and is a frequent reader at the Brooklyn Poets Yawp. Kayla was the recipient of the Deanne Beach Stoneham for Best Original Poetry at Vassar College, where she graduated with honors for her poetry thesis.
