- **Event Name**: WAYE: A Poetry Reading Series – Vol. 5, Episode 2
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 25 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Wed, 25 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 pm
- **Event Description**: WAYE: A Poetry Reading Series is back for something a lil' different this month––our first group feature of 2026, featuring our close friends at The {Poetry} Unfold!

OUR FEATURE
The {Poetry} Unfold (TPU) is an all-inclusive and multi-generational Hudson County initiative and nonprofit (501c3) dedicated to empowering local poets and community through healthy, sustained community building, and facilitating trauma-informed safe spaces by means of poetry and related expressive arts. Based on principles of drama therapy, TPU offers a twice-monthly cover-free poetry series featuring its signature Open Mic + Open Forum model, and cultivates new collaborations and opportunities for its members to offer solo and group features throughout the year. The Unfold’s membership is also the mobilizing force behind the Hudson County Poetry Festival, in association with Washington Park Association.

FOR THE OPEN
Sign-up for our open mic sessions begins at 7:30 PM. Once you arrive at Sure Things (561 Palisade Avenue), please print your name on the list, which has an initial cap of 15 poets who will each poet will have 5 minutes to showcase their work. (Basically, one to three pieces of short to moderate length, including any prep, prologues, and plugs.) IF THE LIST IS FULL, we'll bump the cap to 20 so more poets can be heard; in that case, each poet will recite one poem to ensure we are be done by 10 PM. (It is a school night, after all.)

Again, be sure to arrive at 7:30 PM to secure a spot on the list, since it does fill up quickly; and please keep in mind that the list will be set out no earlier than 7:30.

Also, this is a poetry reading series and open mic, which means spoken word, slam, performance poetry, short prose pieces, and similar forms of poetic expression are welcome. As much as we love music, musical accompaniment, and comedy, this is not the venue for these forms of expression.

SOME QUICK SHOPKEEPING
First, the shop is small and seating is limited. If you want/need a seat, please arrive early to claim one; otherwise, it's standing room only.

Second, there's a $5 CASH ONLY cover, 100% of which goes directly to our feature. Again, this is CASH ONLY; no Venmo, Cash App, Zelle or other forms of electronic payment will be accepted at the door, so please bring some paper money with you.

As always, We Appreciate Your Enthusiasm and look forward to seeing you all on the 25th!
