Maritza Rivera's Mariposa reading series celebrated it's first anniversary Saturday night. Impressive turn out, and all them folks weren't just there for the tootsie rolls. Featured poets Lyn Lifshin, E. Ethelbert Miller and Rebecca Villareal fed the soul. Most events are free, unless otherwise noted.
Some venues pass tip jar for featured poets.
