Don't Blame the Ugly Mug: 10 Years of 2 Idiots Peddling Poetry Steve Ramirez

Poetry. For the last ten years, these two self-proclaimed idiots have been hosting a weekly reading series, peddling poetry at the Ugly Mug Cafe in Orange. These hosts, Ben Trigg and Steve Ramirez, have gathered poems from a selection of poets who have, at some point the past decade, made the trek from coordinates across the country to the Ugly Mug. The collection compiles poems by nearly 200 authors who have featured or read at the cafe.
