Magic Poetry and Music for a Spooky Season

Dear Michael,

Be Afraid, be Very Afraid this Halloween season, or at least come out for some spooky music and poetry. We have an Ohio Poetry Association Gala on the 9th, and Halfway Home on the 10th of October. Pat is scary, but Mike always brings a cake, so it works out. Then the Hard Tackers play on the 17th; they'll scare your socks off but in a nice way. Second Wind, a two-woman bluegrass group will play with them. Craig McVay will read poetry and prose on the 23rd. Bill Cohen will break in the new piano on the 24th, Liz James will tell us about President Harding on the 29th. (President Harding is dead, but he seems to have an undead spirit.) Jennifer Bosveld will offer a publishing workshop on the morning of the 31st, and the Columbus Folk Music Society has promised to entertain us with a few zombies on the 31st. There will be a prize for the best costume that night! So please come to the bookstore and tell us some scary stories.

Learn more and become a member

Ohio Poetry Association Gala--Oct 9

Bring your best work and share it with friends. We are going to build a chapbook out of tonight's reading, so if you have been holding back about sharing your work, tonight would be a good night. We are also going to auction off some signed poetry books, including a signed David Citino, so if you are a reader, a collector, or just an appreciator of fine poetry, please come out and enjoy and evening of magical poetry with us. Fun starts at 6:30 pm. Free parking in the rear.

Learn more about this great band

Halfway Home--Oct 10

Okay, so you know Pat is scary, but Renilda will be keep him in line, so how bad can it be? Mike is spooky, but he brings cake and Patti is magical, so it all works out.We suspect Brian might be trying to blow a fuse with all his electronic equipment, then we would have to listen in the dark!. What better rockin' way to roll in Halloween than to enjoy this great band on a chilly Saturday evening? These folks are the best and they only play the best. Halfway Home can work magic on tired spirits, so please come and enjoy their spooky talent.

Fun starts at 7:pm. Music is free, but we will pass the hat.

Hard Tackers and Second Wind--Oct 17

I think John Locke is probably the scariest of this lot. I know in addition to sea-shanties, he tells some pretty scary stories, but Fred Bailey and Chris Bolles are pretty scary, too. So for sea shanties that will shiver your timbers and singers who will scare your socks off, come out and hear these guys.

The ladies of Second Wind will follow with some of the Carter Family's best tunes, so it should be a fun evening.

Music starts at 7pm The music is free, but we will pass the hat.

Free parking in the rear.

Bill Cohen on the Piano--Oct 24

Bill Cohen does a great job of helping us remember the 60s through the great folk songs of the period. He usually entertains Columbus with his guitar, but tonight he is serenading us with his piano. So, if you find nostalgia spooky, come on out. After all, we baby boomers aren't dead yet. We might seem to some like the living dead, but we will be celebrating tonight, with one of the best in town.

Music starts at 7pm. Music is free, but we will pass the hat. Profits will go to help Randi, Bill's wife, in her work as a volunteer medical translator in the Dominican Republic.

Areopagitica Books

Poetry and Music to Celebrate the Fall

How Did September Go So Fast?
We can't quite believe it is the final weekend of the month already, but there are lots of things happening at Areopagitica Books right now that we want to be sure you get a chance to join in on! Please come and be part of what's happening or check out our current sale: 25% off all books in the store except Pudding House Publications, the new poetry books. Townz needs petting and belly rubs, too, because the last of the season mosquitoes have found him rather tasty!

Poets and Writers Guild:

Dr. Frank Richardson

Friday, Sept 25, 7:30pm

Dr. Frank Richardson will be this month's featured reader. Dr. Richardson, a retired professor of Art History,will be reading from his chapbook. There will be an open reading to follow, light refreshments, and admission will be free. Parking is provided behind the bookstore.

Columbus Folk Music Society's Folkside Coffee House

Sat. Sept 26th, 7pm

This is the first coffee house of the season! Jerry Rockwell will be here to perform on the mountain dulcimer, an instrument he is so thoroughly familiar with that he constructs them. His touring credits are too numerous to mention except to say that he has toured as far as Iceland. Jane Leidheiser, also of the Magpie Consort, will accompany him in the second half of the performance with bowed dulcimer and vocals. Sounds like a performance not to miss! The evening opens with a jam session at 7:00, an open stage at 8:00, and the featured performance at 9:00. Scrumptious baked goods are often carried in--warm from the oven--baked by members. The suggested donation for admission is $5.00. Please bring canned goods for the Central Ohio Food Bank. You are welcome to park for free on the street or in the Mennonite church lot or behind the bookstore.

Sunday, Sept 27th, 7pm

Tonight's reader will be Nkechi Edeh. Please join in for some unique poetry and an opportunity to read your own work to follow. There is no admission, parking behind the bookstore is free, and we will serve light refreshments.

Since it was drizzling rain last night, I got to be the sole audience for the Thursday night Jam Session. What an amazing exclusive concert I enjoyed! This coming Thursday, I will set out a chair for you, whether you would like to play or listen. The group plays from 7:00 to 10:00, and we will serve light refreshments.

October has five Saturdays this year, and the four Saturdays the bookstore schedules before the CFMS Folkside Coffee House will all be blockbusters! It's an all-star lineup coming up. On October 3, At Wit's End will be appearing, and on October 10 Halfway Home will play. We think these two groups contain some of Columbus's most exciting folk musicians! October 17 features the Hardtackers, the CFMS a capella men's group singing sea shanties: they sure are fun! The second act that evening is called Second Wind, two ladies, eleven instruments, and hard-driving bluegrass music. On October 24, Bill Cohen will be performing on the CFMS's new piano. So just save us every Saturday, plan to bring some friends, and come have fun with us!

Keller and friends will entertain us musically on Saturday nights, while Norah Holt will present some of her moving poetry on the fourth Friday.

Dave Hawkins Aug 15, 7 pm

Townz's Corner

I hope all of you realize that the bookstore serves free hot dogs on Saturday mornings between 10:30 and 12:00 while the Farmer's Market meets across the street. Doug says that after Rebecca cooked the first two or three thousand, she got it down pretty well. What I appreciate most about Saturday morning is the rule, "If it hits the ground, it belongs to Townz." I really hope you will stop by and talk to Rebecca, because if she starts gesticulating with the tongs in her hand, she is especially likely to drop a hot dog for me!

We have lots of exciting events lined up for you this month. Mike Morgan is a singer / songwriter from Southern Ohio, whose lyrics have been record by Conway Twitty. Mike will be here on August 8th. On August 15, Dave Hawkins, an old favorite, will stop by again, and Mike Hale, who has a wonderful voice, and his good friends Mary Miller, Larry Ramey, and Ken Pardee will be here on August 22nd. Terry Keller will also provide us with a rockin' evening on August 29. For poetry, we have Nora Holt, who runs "Writer's Inc." reading on August 28. So please stop by and support these talented artists.

Mike Morgan
Singer / Songwriter

Mike Morgan is a Singer / Songwriter from southern Ohio. Mike is a local boy who has made good. Mike's songs have been recorded by a great number of professional artists, including Conway Twitty, Ed Bruce, Bud Logan, Doc Holiday Hylo Brown and Governor Jimmie Davis.

So this will be a great opportunity to hear original music sung by the artist himself. Please come out, meet Mike and enjoy an evening of 60's style folk music. We will start at 7:00 on Saturday, August 8. Light refreshments will be served.

Dave Hawkins
August 15

We have got him back in a week and a half! Cincinnati singer/songwriter Dave Hawkins will be here to perform for us again.

Join us at 7:00 on Saturday night to hear Dave play, enjoy a cookie or two, and have cup of coffee with whoever you get to spend Saturday evening with.

The good news is that "HalfWay Home" will perform for us twice this month, on the 13th and the 20th. on the 13th, they will offer their normal eclectic fare. On the 20th, they are performing a John Prine and Kris Kristofferson evening, so that should be lots of fun. Staying with the music for a moment, "At Wit's End" will perform for us on the 27th. Fred, Charlotte and Pam have been rehearsing some new numbers and some old favorites. On the poetry side of things, the "Poets and Writers Guild" will bring us Dr. Michael Bauza on June 26th, and on the 28th, "Perapetic Poets" will be hosting Terry Hermsen and and Mike Lohre. Clearly, June will be a great month at the bookstore, so please come out to visit us.

Halfway Home

June 13th and the 20th

Halfway Home focuses on American Roots songwriting in an fashion that is always entertaining and exciting. Pat plays a mean accordion with a very sharp wit. He is balanced by Renilda's bass and her grace. Mike has a wonderful voice, and Brian has an amazing guitar. And it is always a pleasure to hear Patty.

On the 13th, the gang will entertain us with a wide range of American folk songs. On the 20th, they will focus on the work of John Prine and Kris Kristofferson. Both events should be a great joy. The event is free, but we will pass the hat. Free parking in the rear of the store. Light refreshments will be served.

At Wit's End
Folk Music with an Attitude
June 27th

The other night, a friend responded to Fred's rendition of "Broken Hand," by saying, "You know, on a scale of 1 to 100, that's a hundred." At Wit's End offers a truly top-notch rendition of American folk music. If you enjoy folk music, this is the group to hear.

Music starts at 7pm. The event is free, but we will pass the hat. There is free parking in the rear, and light refreshments will be served.

At Wit's End is Back! March 14th

One of the things we think you'll notice when you come to hear At Wit's End is a great deal of musicianship. Not only has Fred Bailey, the group's leader, been practicing and teaching himself guitar for more years than he would thank us for mentioning, but the other members of the group also have musical backgrounds. For Charlotte Custis, musical training began with the school girl's choir, which often performed at Mass. Charlotte has two sisters, with whom she spent a lot of time harmonizing. Since then, she's always made music part of her life. Pam Raver, the third member of the trio, studied opera and took singing lessons. Since 2002, they have been practicing together on a weekly basis. So come hear this marvelous folk group perform on March 14th. Music starts at 7 p.m. and is free, but we will pass the hat to support the trio.

Folk Music: Terry C. Keller, Mike Hale and Larry Raime, March 21st
