Event Description:

This September, immerse yourself in the echoes of the past with our Open Mic night themed "Reverb." Join us as we explore how past actions, words, and memories reverberate through time, influencing both our present and our future. It's a night to delve deep into the enduring impact of historical and personal events through the medium of poetry.

Event Highlights:

• Theme of Reverb: Poets are invited to reflect on themes such as the lasting effects of past decisions, words that continue to resonate, and memories that shape our current selves and future paths. This theme encourages a profound exploration of how the past continuously influences the now and the hereafter.
• A Platform for Deep Reflections: Whether it’s personal narratives, historical events, or cultural memories, use your poetry to navigate the complexities of how past experiences echo throughout our lives. This event offers a space for poets to share how these reverberations manifest in their work.
• Interactive Audience Participation: Participants and attendees will not only share their poems but also engage in discussions about the impact of historical and personal reverberations in our lives. This is an opportunity for communal reflection and shared insights.

Participation Details:
