Enjoy listening to poetry and spoken word—or share some writing of your own—with Poetry in the Boro on Sunday, May 17.
As we wade into the waters of a virtual experience, we’re going to be having open mic only this time – no featured poets.
Since community is such an important part of our experience, we’ll be starting at 6:30 – our usual “doors open” time – so you can connect early and “chat” with friends. Bring your own favorite snack or beverage!
At 7:00, we’ll begin the open mic. As usual, please plan on 1 longer or 2 short poems, no more than 4 minutes. For this format, we ask that you keep your content “PG-13.” All styles of poetry are welcome. If you have questions, let us know.
Those who want to read must pre-register at https://forms.gle/j7TUqimE9GSJeghz8

Please note that you can participate only with audio, if you need to.
We plan to conclude the event about 8:00, but we’ll leave the room open a bit longer for people to optionally chat after the event.
THEME CHALLENGE: The last time we met (In March!), we’d set a challenge is to write a poem that somehow relates to the word or idea of “mother.” Share that poem if you wrote it!
