Poetry Open Mic

Poetry Open Mic In-Person

Whether you’re a poet or a poetry lover, whether you'd like to read aloud or just listen, come join us for an evening of original work followed by refreshments and a chance to meet other poets.
 
We invite you to read your previously published poems, poems you hope to publish, or poems-in-process -- let them fly and hear how they land. If you're just getting started writing poetry, come try out your voice. You'll find good company and warm encouragement. Wine and refreshments will also be on hand.

Our emcees are local poets Joanne Hayhurst and Sarah Tames. Each reader will have up to four minutes to read.
