Doors open at 5:30! Join us to listen to some poetry—or share some writing of your own—at Poetry in the Boro at Dapper Owl on Sunday evening, July 14. We'll be announcing our feature soon.The Dapper Owl coffee pub is located at 2412 East Main St. just past its intersection with Rutherford Blvd., on the east side of the MTSU campus. Doors open for mingling and refreshments at 5:30 PM.
Drip coffee and light snacks will be available at no charge. We hope that you’ll order from Dapper Owl’s tasty menu to help make this a winning collaboration for all of us! Their menu includes coffee, tea, beer, cider, and baked goods. We'll share any menu specials the week of the event.
This event is free and open to the public. Donations are encouraged to help with our expenses. Doors open at 5:30 pm and the feature will be at 6:00, with open mic to follow. We always have an intermission, so if you're not able to stay the entire time, no worries...but we usually finish the evening around 8:15.
About the open mic
Open mic readers can share poetry or spoken word: 2 poems or four minutes, whichever comes first. Reading a favorite poem by another writer is fine, too. Sign up for the open mic on site. If we have a large turnout, we may ask you to limit yourself to one poem. We appreciate you helping us hear from many voices!
We ask that readers be prepared to keep their pieces “PG-13” depending on our venue and audience, which sometimes includes younger people.
Challenge words
Here are our challenge words chosen by our community at our last gathering. If you like, write a new piece to share that includes one, some, or ALL of these words:
pride | Worcestershire | dirt | unrequited | gallop | cultivate | cook | marsupial | bereft | Constantinople
Your donations are appreciated
ADMISSION IS FREE. A DONATION of $5 or more is appreciated to help us offset our costs. You can donate using PayPal at paypal.me/poetryintheboro. We also accept donations on site.
Poetry in the Boro thanks MTSU Write and the Rutherford Arts Alliance for their on-going partnerships and support.
