<p>This month&#8217;s Open Mic Night at the Dietrich Theater in Tunkhannock will feature Laurel Radzieski, a local poet and Dietrich Open Mic Night originator. She is the author of &#8220;Red Mother&#8221; (NYQ Books), her debut poetry collection, which she will share with the audience.</p><p>This Open Mic Night will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28 in the Dietrich&#8217;s Peg Fassett Performance Studio.</p><p>Radzieski is a poetry editor for Clockhouse and her work has appeared in The Golden Key, Really System, The Slag Review and other publications. Her poetry has also been featured on the Farm/Art DTour in La Rue, Wisconsin. Sge earned her MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College and her BA from Keystone College. She has served as a teacher and has worn many hats in the theatre. She lives in Northeastern Pennsylvania and can be found online at www.laurelradzieski.com.</p><p>At Open Mic Night, Radzieski will read from &#8220;Red Mother,&#8221; a love story told from the perspective of a parasite. This series of short poems explores the intimacy, desire and devotion we all experience by following the sometimes tender, often distressing relationship that emerges between a parasite and its host. Far from romanticizing either role, &#8220;Red Mother&#8221; takes readers on a tour of their own innards, exposing the hooks and claws of all involved. Radzieski will also share new poems from an in-progress project and copies of Red Mother will be available for purchase.</p><p>Sign-ups are at 6:30 p.m. the night of Open Mic. The final Open Mic Night of the year will take place on Friday, Oct. 26 with storyteller Hal Pratt as the headliner.</p><p>For more information, call the Dietrich at 570-996-1500.</p><style>
