Poets' Playground: Harvest Picnic
Details
Once every season, Triangle poets, poetry lovers, and changemakers gather at Boxyard RTP to share, listen, connect, and tag-team playful, creative solutions to the challenges our neighbors face every day.
This time, we're adding music to the mix, with 5 features who are all regulars at Raleigh's Tongue & Groove open mic PLUS spotlight performances from alumni of Youth Rock NC (formerly Girls Rock NC)!
Join us Saturday, September 5, for an evening of original poetry and music, followed by an open mic.
Featured artists
- Mary Mills (poet)
- Emily-Anne Dellinger (poet)
- The King Teen (musician)
- Kitt Ramble (musician)
- Jessica Covil-Manset (poet)
Open mic

Things to know/bring
Our Harvest Picnic will be in a shaded, grassy area. Bring folding chairs, blankets, or towels to sit on for the full picnic experience! (If you have a large blanket, please be prepared to share with others...it's an intimate space.)
