May Poetry Open Mic @ Burger Loft in Nyack NY

This is our monthly poetry mic in the side room of The Burger Loft on N Broadway in Nyack. We're doing it the 3rd Saturday of each month.

Doors / sign-ups open at 6 PM. Poetry starts at 6:33 PM. Anyone that wants to can come and sign up to read up to 5 minutes of original poetry, but we do cap the number of readers. If you're signed up by 6:30 PM and we have more than our max number, we'll randomize who gets to read.

$10 recommended donation at the door; no one turned away for lack of funds.

We will have a short feature set by 2026 slam team member RiN M., who's promoting her new book With a Kadence.

RiN is a spoken word artist from Harlem who has been writing since middle school. She uses poetry as a space for reflection, storytelling, and human connection, drawing inspiration from the culture and resilience of the communities that shaped her voice. After returning to poetry in late 2024, RiN’s work now centers on vulnerability, healing, accountability, and self-growth. She is the self-published author of With a Kadence and has been featured in publications including the American Library of Poetry Discovered: 2013 Poetry Collection, Graffiti Literary Magazine, and Promethean Literary Journal. Through spoken word, RiN aims to foster peace, emotional honesty, and authentic community connection.
