Open Mic Poetry Reading Night at the Library Looking for Poets!

Hello Sockmonkeys!

I was contacted by one of the librarians at the Puyallup Public Library about an Open Mic Poetry Reading they are hoping to hold in April.  They wondered if I knew any writers in our area who might like to come and read some of their poetry at an event that would be attended by any at the library who were interested in listening.  This is part of National Poetry Month, which happens every April.

Since I only meet our writers during NaNoWriMo, when people are writing novels, I don't know how many of you also write poetry, but I let her know I would get the word out and see what sort of response I received.  Do you write poems?  Would you be willing to share them?  Wondering what's planned for this evening?

The details I currently have are as follows:

They are hoping to hold it Open Mic style.  There will be a maximum of 15 participants reading during the event.  The only requirements are that participants be at least 12 years old and that your content be kept PG (aka no obscene language, violence or other content that may not be appropriate for a library setting as there may be minors in attendance).  Each participant will be allotted 3 minutes to share their work.

They are planning to hold the reading on Tuesday, April 28th from 6 - 7 p.m.

If you're interested in participating as a volunteer reader and want to read some of your poetry, please contact me at PCsockmonkeywriters@gmail.com or use the Questions? Ideas? box in the sidebar (as long as you include a valid email where I can get back to you with the information).  I will send you the sign up information.

Whether you're sharing your poetry or not, I'm sure writers are also welcome to attend this night of local poetry, if they'd like to do so as part of National Poetry Month.

Any questions, please leave them in the comments, send them via the sidebar or email them to our gmail account.

How many Sockmonkey poets are there?  Let us hear from you, either way!
