Poet Dave Morrison kicks off 2026 with a Poetry Happy Hour performance at 40 Paper in Camden on Thursday January 22 at 5 pm. Admission is free, and all are welcome. Morrison's trademark 'poetry with a soundtrack' features a spoken word, looped electric guitar mashup.

Dave Morrison's poems have been published in literary magazines and anthologies, and featured on Writer’s Almanac, Take Heart, and Poems from Here. Morrison has published eighteen books of poetry – Sprinter Runs the Marathon (Rain Crow Press 2025) is his most recent collection.
