Poetry is back at the Tip Top ...

,,, but out at the Chatterbox Jazz Club.

In the latest round of musical chairs for poets' venues, an open mic will return to the Tip Top Tavern, 1341 Capitol Ave., this time every Sunday at 6 p.m. For about three months, Delpha C. Zilla will be the featured guest. The Tip Top used to be the site of a reading every third Tuesday of the month.

However, the monthly First Sunday of the Month Poetry Reading at the Chatterbox, 435 Massachusetts Ave., has been discontinued.

Both announcements were made in an e-mail Monday evening from George Fish, co-host of both events with Bill Dougherty.
