Public Poetry Nights

A cozy space to write, share & grow together!

Public Poetry Nights, facilitated by the Oh No! Poetry Collective are a free & inclusive monthly gathering designed to nurture creative expression & community connection through poetry.

These nights provide a much-needed bridge between the often-intimidating world of public performance & the costly, structured nature of traditional writing workshops. Many interested in poetry, especially beginners, don’t know where to start or lack access to spaces where they can safely experiment, learn & connect with others.

These FREE sessions offer a low-pressure, beginner-friendly environment that encourages curiosity, growth & collaboration.
