Inner Moonlight is the monthly poetry reading series at the Wild Detectives in Dallas. Curated by Dallas poet Logen Cure, the in-person show is the second Wednesday of every month in the Wild Detectives backyard. We love our podcast fans, so we release recordings of the live performances every month for y'all! On 3/11/26, we featured poet Jess Smith!

Jess Smith is the author of Lady Smith (University of Akron Press, 2025). She is an Associate Professor of Practice at Texas Tech University, where she also directs the MFA in creative writing. See more at www.jesselizabethsmith.com.
