Borderlands: Poetry on the Edge is a monthly poetry reading hosted by Main Street Books in Mansfield, Ohio. The reading is curated by Mark Sebastian Jordan. Each month he invites two poets from across Ohio and the surrounding states to give extended readings followed by a short open mic. 

18) Open Mic, Mason Boor

Borderlands is a monthly reading series that typically features one or two Ohio poets on the 3rd Saturday of every month. This month we are both branching out and staying close to home. Featured in November are poets Susan A. Sheppard from Parkersburg, WV and Nick Gardner from our very own Mansfield, Ohio. We happen to know that these two kick poetic ass. The reading will be followed by our now infamous “mic-less open mic,” so if you, too, are a poet, bring your work. Poets and poetry appreciators are equally welcome. Get your language flowing, set your words on fire. And while you’re at it, bring someone who claims to not like poetry to show them what it really is.
