 Michael Grabell is an award-winning poet, whose first chapbook, Macho Man, won the Finishing Line Press chapbook competition in 2013 and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. His poems have appeared in the Best American Poetry anthology, Best New Poets 2009, Southwest Review, Columbia Poetry Review, Alehouse, Rattle, and the Sow's Ear Poetry Review.  His poetry has won a Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg prize and was runner-up in the River Styx International Poetry Contest.  He has also served as a mentor in the MFA program at Western Connecticut State University.
Grabell is an investigative reporter for ProPublica.  His investigative work has included stories on temp agencies, President Obama's economic stimulus package, the TSA's body scanners, the Federal Air Marshal Service, the Lance Armstrong doping allegations, chemicals stored near schools and neighborhoods, and a bus fire that killed 23 nursing home patients fleeing Hurricane Rita.  At ProPublica, his work has appeared in The New York Times, Time, and USA Today and on NPR, PBS NewsHour, and the CBS Evening News.

On the third Thursday of each month, The Poetry Institute Poetry Series celebrates an eclectic mix of poetic voices.  Free.  Refreshments.  (And if you want to bring something to share, that's good, too.)  Open mic.  Outstanding featured readers.  In a casual setting.   Open to all (even poets).
