Spoken Word: A Celebration of National Poetry Month

Description

Hospitality at 5 PM | Reading at 5:30 PM 
National Poetry Month, which takes place each April, was introduced in 1996 by the Academy of American Poets to raise awareness and increase appreciation of poetry in the United States. This year the Book Club will support this effort by inviting local poets to read their original works as part of our open mic celebration of National Poetry Month on Wednesday, April 25 from 5:00-7:00pm. 
Join us for an evening of readings by amateur and professional poets and spoken word artists!
A sign-up sheet will be available at the start of the event for those interested in reading. Readers will be able to share up to 2 poems and limited to a maximum of 5 minutes. Readers will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis.
Let us know you're coming by completing this form!
