Poetry Open Mic

About this event

Calling all poets and poetry fans – join us for Poetry Open Mic and gather to celebrate gratitude! You don’t have to follow this theme, it is only a suggestion. Give us two or three of your polished poems or share fresh ink from your notebook. Invite a friend or two or three to cheer you on.
