Classic Poetry Open Mic
March 16, 2020 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
FreeKeats and Rilke and Donne and Wordsworth and Angelou and Plath and Yeats and Browning and Dickinson, oh my!
Bring your favorite old poems to Classic Poetry Open Mic, co-hosted with Rose City Book Pub. This is a time to gather together to enjoy classic poetry from around the world. Memorization/recitation is highly encouraged, but you can also read from a digital/hard copy. This is not a time to share your own writing–there are lots of open mics for that! This is a time for poetry lovers to share and discuss favorite old poems that inspire and delight.
