Can't make this one? S'cool! Set your calendar to repeat this event every First Friday (***EXCEPT FOR JULY 2025 - it will be on the 5th!***!).
LOGISTICS:
-There will be 20 slots. If the slots are full by the time you get there, you can put your name on a little piece of paper and put it in the Wild Card vase. After the 20 slots have gone, we will pick names at random until our HARD STOP at 9:15pm!

-If you have your poem memorized, you win a LOOFAH!
-Please only read one poem - save the other one for next time!
-Time limit: No minimum! But please stay longer than 3 minutes at the mic, including whatever you'd like to say before reading the poem. Please be respectful of the individual time limit, since we want to get to as many people as possible before we end at 9:15.
Thank you so much, my friends! However you feel coming into this experience, you will feel even better as you leave it. And you'll be thinking about poetry more often, which, as we all know, is so, so good for the soul and the world.
