Princeton Makes Poetry Reading To Feature Andrew Condouris, Todd Evans

PRINCETON, NJ — Princeton Makes and local publisher Ragged Sky Press will host a Second Sunday Poetry Reading on Jan. 12 at 4 p.m. The readings will take place at the Princeton Makes store in the Princeton Shopping Center.

The January reading will feature music-themed poetry by Andrew Condouris and Todd Evans. Their readings will be followed by an open mic available to up to 10 audience members who would like to read their original poetry.

Condouris writes poems that resonate with life's quiet moments and the rhythm of human experience. He discovered his passion for poetry at a young age, finding inspiration during weekly speech tests in a sound isolation booth.

After completing his undergraduate studies, Condouris pursued his Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Creative Writing at Fairleigh Dickinson University, honing his craft and delving deeper into the complexities of poetic expression.

Armed with his degree, he returned to his roots, channeling his creativity into nurturing young minds as an English teacher in the Trenton Public School district. Condouris's poetry reflects the intersection of the personal and the universal, weaving together themes of identity, memory, and beauty in life's ordinary moments.

Evans is an award-winning poet and playwright, and Founder and President of The Don Evans Players Community Theater group. Evans is also the host of The Classics open mic and the Freedom Friday open mic in Trenton.
