What we’re about

Join us at 7:00pm CT every 4th Monday of the Month at OakHill Theater (Squarerut Kava Bar) for Poetry Open Mic Night!

At CBC Poetry Open Mic Night, you can expect a welcoming, inclusive, and low-pressure environment that celebrates the power of words in all their forms. Whether you write poetry, spoken word, monologues, lyrics, or prose, this is a space to share your voice—or simply listen and support fellow creatives.

Like the name implies, the microphone is open to anyone who wants to read aloud original or pre-existing poetry. Participation is always optional, and respectful listening is required.

📝 What to expect:

  • 🎙️ Open-mic–style poetry and spoken word readings
  • 📖 Original works, pre existing, and experimental pieces welcome
  • 🤝 A supportive audience with no pressure to perform for creatives of all backgrounds and experience levels

Whether you’re looking to test new material, build confidence performing, or connect with Austin’s creative community, Poetry Open Mic Night is the perfect place to show up as you are.

📅 RSVP Required

🪑 Limited space available - 10 participants per session with a time limit of 5 minutes per speaker. This is to maintain intimacy and give everyone space and time to be heard.

Come share your words, your silence, or your applause—we’re glad you’re here.
