As the sunlight wanes, the words begin to wax. So says the Vineyard Playhouse as it prepares to begin its Poetry Cafe series once again.

On Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 7:30 p.m., the first of the season’s wordsmiths take the stage. Island Poet Laureate Arnie Reisman is the host of the evening which includes poets Lee McCormack, Clark Myers and Fan Ogilvie. The cost is $10 and includes pie and a beverage.
