Call of the Wild Poetry Night:
The Poetry Series Ely Has Been Waiting to Return!
Poetry has always been the heartbeat of the Northwoods. This season, Ely’s poetry nights return with the third season of the Call of the Wild Poetry, a monthly gathering at the Vermilion Fine Arts Theater, 1900 East Camp Street.
Each evening begins at 4:30 PM with a 30-minute workshop led by Northern Lakes Arts Association teaching artists, followed by a 5:00 PM open mic where anyone can share their work or simply listen. Each session will also be recorded and turned into a podcast episode. Want your poem featured? This is your chance.
