Theme:

What are your plans for a new year? Let's read poetry about winter and/or your new year plans.

We will enjoy an inclusive multicultural multilingual open mic poetry night. Indigenous🪶, 2SLGBTQIA+🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️, disability people👩‍🦽🧑‍🦼, invisible disability, ADHD, autism, mental health issues, youth👩🏾👱, kids🧒🏽👧and seniors👵🏻👴🏿are all welcome😊 It is a safe and friendly space.

You can read in any language and it is always good to have English translation or summary of your poetry to read it too or to hand it out to the audience.

In the past poetry nights, people read and sang in Arabic, English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Urdu, Punjabi, Tagalog, Irish, Turkish, Persian and other African languages.

If you don't want to read about the theme, it is OK. You can read about anything you like. If you want to read poetry written by other poets, it is OK just give them their credits by mentioning their names. If you don't want to read, it is OK, you can enjoy other's performances.

If you wanna slam, rap, sing, play guitar or play any musical instrument you have, please do. There will be a Bluetooth device to plug in your cell phone to play a soundtrack when you sing.

Every poet/performer is allowed for 3 to 5 minutes only. If there is still more time, we will go for a 2nd and a 3rd round😉

Cover cost: $7 to $10 cash at the door to support this initiative
