The Crazy Wisdom Poetry Circle of Ann Arbor, Michigan took it’s name from an independent bookstore where a small group of poetry enthusiasts first met in person. During 2021 our readings and workshops went virtual and are now open and available to a wider audience. Bookmark us to stay current with our scheduled events or, if you are a WordPress user, “follow” us. You can also visit our YouTube Channel for videos of past readings and follow us on Facebook.
