Food for Thought Idea Forum & Potluck is a place to get inspired and share your mind. Join us each month at Eat My Words Bookstore in NE Minneapolis.

Instead of everyone reading the same book, everyone responds to the same topic through whatever media that resonates with them, like a backwards book club.

Share a reading from a book or talk about an experience (a memory, album, play, or movie) to connect with the month's topic. Or bring something new (perform a poem, sing a song, read some prose). Also: bring some food to share!
