Grandma’s House is a poetry show and open mic tucked in a corner of Kibbitznest Books, Brews & Blarney. Hosted by Chicago poet and self-proclaimed Grandma, Caroline M. Watson, Grandma's House is Chicago's coziest poetry show.  Come on out to perform some of your work or to watch our featured poet. It’s just like being in your Grandma’s living room, only with less mothballs and more earth-shattering poetry. 

On March 1st, Grandma welcomes Bianca Phipps as the feature poet. Bianca is a poet, theatre artist, and intersectional feminist currently based in Chicago. Her work navigates forgiveness & familial ties, the hurt & healing of trauma, and the glory of the small victories. Her work can be found online or in her first chapbook, White River Happiness.
