Open Mic Poetry Night

For Adults

About the Program

Join us in a welcoming, judgment-free space for another special evening of poetry and connection. Whether you’re a seasoned poet or sharing your work for the very first time, this is your chance to present original writing in a supportive atmosphere. Prefer to simply listen and soak in the words? That’s perfectly fine too - everyone is welcome.

This month’s optional writing challenge features the words Ending, Warmth, and Translucent - see what inspiration they spark!

Light refreshments will be provided. Readers are invited to share up to five minutes of their work, and friends or guests are warmly encouraged to attend (please remember to register to save your seat).
