About this Event
Join us for a fun-filled evening of creativity, contemplation, and expression! Proceeds support future creative, community-building events at Blackthorn. Whether you're a seasoned poet or newly curious to explore with pen to page, this event is perfect for anyone looking to have a good time playing with words in the presence of others. We'll read poetry, write in response to fun prompts, and share as you like. No one is ever forced to speak a word if you prefer to listen. You will leave with a selection of poems and prompts to try on your own.
