Calling all Sesame Street fans! Michael Davis, a Baltimore Sun alumnus, will be at Greetings & Readings Saturday afternoon to sign copies of his new book, Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street. Working with one of the show's co-founders, Joan Ganz Cooney, Davis gives you a behind-the-scenes pass to the longest-running children's show in history. Perhaps he will even answer that age-old question: What exactly does Oscar wear under that can?

Sunday at 4 p.m., PoetryInBaltimore.com presents Gimme Shelter Productions Community Harvest Benefit for Hearts Place Shelter. For $3, or a nonperishable food item, you can enjoy the poetry of an opera singer, teacher, performance artist and many more.

The open-mic fun continues Monday night when Eight-Stone Press sponsors an evening of Baltimore related stories, poetry and art. Stop by at 7 p.m. and share your own Charm City stories.

If you still haven't had enough of Poe, join the fray at The Great Poe Debate on Tuesday evening at the Philadelphia Free Central Library. Philadelphia's Ed Pettit, Boston College's Paul Lewis and our very own Jeff Jerome of the Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum will (metaphorically) duke it out for our dear Poe's legacy and resting place.

And, as always, there are plenty more events to be found on the Read Street calendar.
