On Sun., Jan. 25 at 2 p.m. the Locust Street location of The Green Line Café (4426 Locust St.) will host an open reading of poetry in remembrance of the staff of Charlie Hebdo who were killed in Paris. 

The Café invites readers to present humorous or satirical poems "in the spirit of Charlie Hebdo." Readers can read their own work, or the work of other writers. 

From an email from the Café:

The Green Line Poetry Series extends its solidarity and deep sympathy to the brave members of Charlie Hebdo and to the people of Paris. Please join us.

If you'd like to reserve a spot to read, email Leonard Gontarek or call 215-808-9607.
