Afternoon of Open Mic Poetry
Five Points Center for Active Adults, 2000 Noble Road, Raleigh, NC, USAn Afternoon of Open Mic Poetry hosted by Freshly Brewed Poems for adults 18+
More of a poetry in the round, we share our work in a non-amplified setting. While we encourage original material, you may also share with us your favorite authors. Are you just a fan of poetry and spoken word? Come and listen.
The number of poems each participant will read will be determined by the size of the group. Please be prepared to read 1 to 3 poems, or 5 minutes of prose. There will not be any critique of your work unless you ask, but discussion of the subject may happen. Your choice.
Sign-up begins at 2:30pm and reading at 3 until 4:30pm

Bring Your Own Poetry
Natural Science, 2409 Crabtree Blvd #126, Raleigh, NC, USIn partnership with Paradigm Poetry, please join us for Bring Your Own Poetry, an open mic. We gather every two months on the first Thursday, from 6–9pm, at Natural Science Bar in Raleigh.
The poetry community in the Triangle is thriving—full of heart, courage, and talent.
Speaking our art—especially when it feels scary—can be healing. To share your work and feel it received with loving attention is both powerful and transformative.
Bring your poetry, and we will bring our love. This is a space to listen deeply, support one another, and share our art. Our voices are sacred. We need one another’s stories, wisdom, and the music of words spoken by the poets who wrote them.
Please see the event details, below.
