Poetry has been an oasis for many of us over the pandemic -- a place to grow, heal, be challenged, make meaning and explore. We love poetry and we know you do too so we're celebrating National Poetry Month with a community open mic. Come and share a poem or two or come to listen, watch and enjoy.

We'll have Jude Rajakariar on Djembe and Adil Dhalla DJing the event. There will be light snacks and non-alcoholic refreshments.

For those deciding whether or not to recite poetry - know that this is deep community vibes and that everyone has your back and you can share whatever you'd like.

Feel free to bring poetry books, zines, chapbooks, napkins, yearbooks, anything you have that might have wisdom and beauty in it.
