(PRINCETON, NJ) -- Princeton Makes, a Princeton-based artist cooperative, and Ragged Sky Press, a local publisher focused on poetry, will host a Second Sunday Poetry Reading on Sunday, January 12, 2025 at 4:00pm.  The readings will take place at the Princeton Makes store in the Princeton Shopping Center and will feature music themed poetry by Andrew Condouris and Todd Evans.  Their readings will be followed by an open mic available to up to 10 audience members who would like to read their original poetry.

Andrew Condouris writes poems that resonate with the cadence of life's quiet moments and the rhythm of human experience. At a tender age, Condouris discovered his passion for poetry, finding inspiration during weekly speech tests in a sound isolation booth. Alone with words, this formative period sparked a lifelong love affair with language and verse. After completing his undergraduate studies, Condouris pursued his Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Creative Writing at Fairleigh Dickinson University, honing his craft and delving deeper into the complexities of poetic expression. Armed with his degree, he returned to his roots, channeling his creativity into nurturing young minds as an English teacher in the Trenton Public School district. Condouris's poetry reflects the intersection of the personal and the universal, weaving together themes of identity, memory, and beauty in life's ordinary moments. His work invites readers to pause, reflect, and find meaning in the intricate tapestry of existence. With each verse, he invites us to journey alongside him, exploring the depths of the human soul and the boundless possibilities of language.

Todd Evans is an award winning Poet and playwright, and Founder and President of The Don Evans Players community Theater group. Mr. Evans is also host of The Classics open mic and the Freedom Friday open mic in Trenton N.J.

Princeton Makes is a cooperative comprised of 37 local artists who work across a range of artistic genres, including painting, drawing, stained glass, sculpture, textiles, and jewelry. Customers will be able to support local artists by shopping for a wide variety of art, including large paintings, prints, custom-made greeting cards, stained glass lamps and window hangings, jewelry in a variety of designs and patterns, and more.
