Feature story about a local group of writers called Athens Word of Mouth

It’s half past eight on the first Wednesday of the month and The Globe’s upper room is full of laughter, applause and the unusual group of friends that calls themselves Athens Word of Mouth. David Noah takes the stage shortly after and members of the audience begin to simultaneously cry out, “IT’S HIS FIRST TIME!” Noah has been listening to members of Word of Mouth perform for the past year and tonight, he’s decided to try his own hand at poetry. There are pens in mouths and marbled notebooks in hands and the night is nothing if not magical.
