Here, we take a break from the stressful and divisive modern world and celebrate the uniting and reflective power of poetry. At North Florida Poetry Hub, we are continually fostering a space for bravery, power, joy, and comfort. All are welcome!
We encourage attendees to bring a poem. Poets who bring their own poems can choose to receive constructive feedback, but no skill level whatsoever is required! You don't need to be a poet to love poetry, so feel free to bring a previously published poem to share and speak about. Or! Just come to listen and enjoy what others are bringing.
