About the Show

June 2, 2026

This 5×5 Reading features five fantastic artists: mk zariel, Antonio Duke, Willard Malebear Jr., Adrien Wright, and Eemanna.

Each featured artist will take five minutes to share work. After the main reading and a short break for refreshments, an open mic period welcomes all to participate (first come, first serve). Hosts are Davi Gray and Erin Sharkey; both reading and open mic will feature ASL interpretation.

Masks are required at Moon Palace Books and are available on-site.

Better Things is a series of events sponsored by the ReEntry Lab, in partnership with the Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop (MPWW) and Moon Palace Books. The ReEntry Lab connects writers and other artists leaving incarceration to a community that’s ready to receive them.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to legislative appropriations from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
