Seattle Poetry Meetup @ College Inn Pub

About this event

We will read and respond to poetry in excruciating detail. It's fun, I promise! We'll take turns picking a poem for us to read and respond to. Please come with at least one poem that you are ready to share—whether your own or one from another author. If you have nothing to share, feel free to listen in. We will read each poem aloud, twice if time permits. If desired, the poem can be shared through [Proton Drive](https://drive.proton.me/urls/05PJ0BMSSW#es3lBdtVcr3y) to be shown on a laptop screen or viewed on smartphones. Paper copies can also be distributed, or feel free to just read your poem aloud---whatever you prefer works for us! ***Seattle Poetry Meetup is a proud founding member of the [Western Washington Poets Network](https://www.westernwashingtonpoetsnetwork.org/) \- check out their database of open mics and critique groups in the area\.*** VENUE We'll be at the College Inn Pub in the U District.
