The September 20, 2025 episode of Lit Balm: An Interactive Livestream Reading Series will be the MERCURIUS show, and feature Vik Shirley, Thomas Helm, Marcus Silcock, and Ben Niespodziany! As always, we’ll begin with poems from our hosts and end with an open mic. It’s gonna be a doozy!

I am going to read a prose poem from the Mercurius surreal-absurd anthology and then some new microfiction from my book in progress: Reality Bites.
