Spots for the pre-reading fish fry (we wish that was always a thing) are closed, but no need to register for @jryanstradal's free Friday night event at Wausau's Elks Club. Hopefully we avoid a fish coma so he can start a reading/Q&A around 7pm - https://t.co/sjdByYDHy3

I am on the board of the Central Wisconsin Book Festival (September 28-Oct. 1, events in Wausau, Point and Rapids) and one fun part is the poetry walk.

Businesses downtown posted poems submitted by local writers. They’re up all month.
