Queer Poetry Open Mic

May 27 @ 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Come join us for our 9th monthly Queer Poetry Open Mic night, held for the first time at The Brick House!

We are so excited to see/meet/celebrate you:
Bring your deepest sad, your brightest joy, your ephemeral wanting. Moon magic and wildflowers. We’re here for whatever your heart sings to you. Both queer folx and allies are welcome, but we ask if you are not queer that you consider coming just to listen. For all readers: 3 min on the mic—please respect your fellow poets’ time!

We are not here to police anyone’s identities in any way but only ask that you inquire within your own heart whether or not your voice most needs to be heard. And yes: YOU ARE QUEER ENOUGH!!

More Info on our Featuring Poet, Maya Williams, will be forthcoming.

LOGISTICS:
* Doors @ 6:30pm, open mic @ 7:30pm. We usually end by about 9:30pm.
