A poetry writing workshop begins with short generative writing prompts, then moves into reading a poem as a group to guide the hour's writing. The second hour is an open mic for sharing work made in the workshop or other poems. Open mic sign-ups are first-come, first-served at the door and capped so everyone who signs up gets a chance to perform. The event runs from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with the workshop at 6:00 PM and the open mic at 7:00 PM. Beginner friendly; no poetry experience required, and all are welcome. Hosted by Ashvini. Masks are required.
