We’ll close the session with readings of the new poems created on the spot.As always, bring your poetry, music, comedy, and voice for our open mic and mob karaoke. Let’s make it an afternoon of invention, laughter, and unexpected performance.The event is free, but donations are welcome to help keep these gatherings going.Come for the art, stay for the community!
