About the event

September Poetry Open Mic - Poets for Change

Poets and poetry lovers are invited to celebrate creative writing and reciting, with the local poetry community.

All are encouraged to share poems that relate to positive change in our community and the world that we live in as we observe 100 Thousand Poets for Change Day.

The sign-up sheet will be available at 2:30 PM on the event day. At 3 PM, the facilitator will call to the podium the first 15 names on the sheet. Each presentation should be limited to five minutes maximum, to allow everyone time to share. The mic will be turned off a 4:30 PM to allow everyone time to network and socialize.

You can be an agent of change with your written words. This is the idea behind 100 Thousand Poets for Change, a grassroots organization co-created by the late poet Michael Rothenberg that brings communities together to call for environmental, social, and political change within the framework of peace and sustainability.

HELP SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THE ANCIENT CITY POETS
As a community of poets and poetry lovers, ACP has been gathering since August 2009. If you have ever gone to one of the monthly readings you should invite your friends to come and check it out.

FLORIDA STATE POETS ASSSOCIATION (FSPA)
Ancient City Poets is the local chapter of the Florida State Poets Association (FSPA). These gatherings qualify as the monthly chapter meeting. The monthly readings are open to all. You do not have to be a member to share at the podium. Ancient City Poets is a community of poets and poetry lovers who have gathered in the Nation’s Oldest City, on the last Sunday of the month, since August 2009.
