Join us for a poetry slam and open mic!!

Masks are heavily encouraged.

There is a 5 dollar suggested donation for this event but no one is turned away.

We will have a feature from Xylophone Mykland!

More about Xylophone:
Xylophone Mykland is a neurodivergent, nonbinary lesbian poet. This event is part of the book release for their debut collection, Someone I Can Hold Gently, published with First Matter Press. They were part of the winning slam team at Southwest Shootout in 2018. When they’re not writing poetry, you can find them Googling “androgynous outfits,” applying for public assistance, and thinking about poetry. Find them at xylophonepoetry.com or @xylophonepoetry on Instagram & Twitter.

We will be at our venue, Tiny’s Coffee Northeast! This means our show is all-ages! Everyone is welcome. We do not censor our mic except for instances of hate-speech. Please also note that we start a little earlier then at previous venues.

Accessibility info: Tiny’s is on the 6 bus line, which is a frequent service line. It is a quarter mile from the the streetcar line and about a half mile away from the max. The building and stage is wheelchair accessible and most of the seating can be moved to create space for accessibility equipment. The venue serves food and coffee, so it is not scent-free
