The heart of this event is creating a space for writing that feels a little too vulnerable, strange, personal, or unconventional for a typical open mic.

Bring a poem, journal entry, story, lyrics, letter, or any piece of writing you’d like to share. It might be something you’ve always wanted to read aloud or share but never quite found the right space for.

Maybe it’s deeply personal. Maybe it’s dark, funny, messy, intense, embarrassing, provocative, or unfinished. Whatever it is, this is a space where the focus is on honesty and expression.

When you arrive, you’ll place your writing into a hat anonymously. Everyone will then draw a piece at random and read someone else’s work aloud. Your words get to be heard without the pressure of standing up and claiming them as your own.

This is a participant-focused event. Everyone who attends is encouraged to bring a piece of writing and take part in the anonymous readings. The idea is that we’re all readers, writers, and supporters of one another. As the community grows, we may open future events to spectators, but for now I’d love everyone to participate.
