POETS, BE HEARD!

We could all use a little poetry right now, don’t you think? Be inspired and express yourself through this refreshing live (virtual) event!


Who: Poets ages 13 – 22 can read poetry to a live audience! Ages 22+ are welcome to attend as supportive audience members.

What: A free, virtual, open-mic poetry event. It’s a safe, non-judgemental space to share your work and hear from others. There are no critiques or ranks, just genuine sharing and experiencing togetherness through poetry. You’re a winner just for showing up!

When: January 15th at 7 pm CST. Register by January 10th so we can create the lineup (this will be emailed to you along with the zoom link).

Where: Via zoom. The link will be emailed to those who registered a few days before the event.

Hope to see you there!
