Enjoy listening to poetry and spoken word—or share some writing of your own—with Poetry in the Boro on Sunday, May 16. An open mic will follow a short feature by poet Allison Hutchcraft. We’ll be starting at 6:45PM Central time so you can connect early and chat with friends. Bring your favorite snack or beverage! We begin at 7:00PM. 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.
