On the first Friday of every month all writers--poets, playwrights, novelists, memoirists, etc. are invited to spend time sharing their work. Each reader can read up to three poems or for five minutes. Email [email protected] if you'd like to be added to the open mic list. Please specify if you'd prefer to read toward the beginning, middle, or end of the list. We do our best to accommodate. You may also let the host know during the event, but this will place you toward the end of the open mic list. Click here for details.
