Poetry reading by Tina Schumann followed by open mic.
We’re excited to offer Open Mic for poets of all experience levels to read their work to an appreciative audience. This is a great opportunity to reach new readers and meet people who love words as much as you do. It takes courage to share your work with others. Be brave!
Open to the public, and everyone is welcome (Ages 14 and up.) No need to register in advance. Signup for the open mic will start at 6:45 pm. Poets will be asked to keep their readings to three minutes or less. Emceed by Bainbridge Island Poet Laureate Michele Bombardier. Refreshments provided!
Featured Reader: Tina Schumann is the author of four poetry collections: Boneyard Heresies (Moon City Press award winner), Praising the Paradox (Red Hen), Requiem. A Patrimony of Fugues, (Diode award winner) and As If (Parlor City Press) winner of the Stephen Dunn Prize. She is editor of the anthology Two-Countries: U.S. Daughters and Sons of Immigrant Parents, (Red Hen). Her work has seen publication since 1999 including Cimarron Review, Michigan Quarterly, The Missouri Review, Poetry Daily, Rattle, Verse Daily and NPR’s The Writer’s Almanac.
Bainbridge Open Mic at the Library is sponsored by the Bainbridge Island Poet Laureate Program, the Bainbridge Public Library, and the Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network (BARN), with funding support from the Bainbridge Community Foundation and the City of Bainbridge Island.
