CALLING ALL POETS!
Sheath your writing quill for the evening and crack open your journal for all to hear.
We're eager to listen. This is meant to be a space of compassionate community. All topics are welcome, all people are welcome. We'd love to hear more BIPOC voices in the mix.
Join us and be welcomed into this cozy group of poets of all ages and all experience levels.
Beginners welcome! Just walk in and sign up. Time limits will depend on the number of poets who register.
Cost: Event is free but donations to the venue are welcome.
Accessibility: The venue has just one step to enter into the building, and one step to get up on stage. A gender neutral bathroom is available on the same level.
Drinks: Non-alcoholic drinks are available at the venue.
Content warning: The topics covered may be intense or triggering for people. Viewer discretion is advised.
