Endi Bogue Hartigan is a Portland-based poet whose third full-length poetry book oh orchid o’clock--released in spring 2023 from Omnidawn Publishing--explores histories of clock measure, temporal presence in today’s realities, and impacts of our obsession with time.

Her poetry book Pool [5 choruses] (Omnidawn, 2014) was selected by Cole Swensen for the 2014 Omnidawn Open Poetry Book Prize.

Her work has appeared in numerous journals and collaborative projects with artists and writers. More on her work is at endiboguehartigan.com.

The Open Mic is open to all audience members. Participants can sign up before the start of the reading or during the break. In the interest of time, Open Mic readers are asked to limit their readings to three minutes.

The Ross Island Grocery and Café is a cozy space with capacity for 40 or so people. Tables are available, so people who arrive early can enjoy a light supper while waiting for the reading to begin. There is unrestricted parking on the streets around the Café.
