Wordlights: Saturday Poetry Evenings
June 15, 2019 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeWordlights Saturday poetry evenings presented by Nova PDX, Rocking Frog Cafe and hosted by Igor Brezhnev.
On Saturday June 15th, we’ll have a feature from Bri G and a long set poetry open mic!
OUR FEATURE: Bri G
Bri G is a Portland poet who is living the damn dream! Bri has been in competitions and read on stages across Portland and beyond. She believes deeply in accessible art, and loves to watch all her artsy friends flourish wildly. She recently released her first chap book ‘There’s Room for You Here’ which touches on self love, relationships, and god stuff. Bri is currently studying creative writing and publishing at PSU, until formal education breaks her spirit. Most importantly she believes in you.
***
Sign-ups start at 5:30, show starts at 6PM. On first and third Saturdays each performer in the open mic gets 10 minutes, there are only 8 slots available and the list order is randomized.
Come share your words and join us for a night of open mic, a great feature and plenty of snacks and booze 🍻
