Poetry Open Mic

Poetry Open Mic In recognition of April as the 30th Anniversary of the National Poetry Month our Inland Branch of the California Writers Club will be hosting an open Poetry Mic. You do not need to be a member to participate but you do need to get on the roster by emailing your title(s) and expected reading time to Sam Nichols at the email address provided below. Readings should be limited to 10 minutes or less. Readings will be scheduled in the order the reservation requests are received or as deemed appropriate by the organizer. There will be a wireless microphone mounted on an adjustable microphone stand to facilitate the poetry readings. This will be a mixed audience at a family oriented library with minors in attendance so no gratuitous sex or violence. Organized by the Academy of American Poets, and introduced in 1996, National Poetry Month is an annual celebration of poetry. It seeks to increase the appreciation and awareness of poetry within the United States. Further information may be found on the Academy’s website at https://poets.org/national-poetry-month-30th-anniversary. Email Sam Nichols at: iecaliforniawritersclub@gmail.com to reserve a spot. This in-person meeting is open to all
