Poets live among us. That man slurping coffee in the corner of Mudsmith, scribbling into his notebook? Poet. That woman drumming her fingers on the bar, mouthing words and staring into space? Poet.

Stop by Kettle Art Gallery (2650-B Main St.) at 7 p.m. Thursday to hear their words. Admission is free. More at wordspacedallas.com.
