Come explore with us! We’re walking among the tombs at historic Maury & Mt. Olivet Cemeteries, sharing poems, soaking in the stories. It’s the thing to do this season. Saturday, October 10, 2pm. RSVP is required for this event–just drop a line to our “Contact” page above.
On Tuesday, October 13, we return to Benchtop Brewing Co (434 Hull St. RVA 23224) for our monthly dose of poems and pints! Come hang out, share, listen, meet new friends and catch up with old ones.
*Theme alert!* While we’re always open to all sorts of poems & topics, this month we’re especially looking for “poems that haunt” (however you interpret that). No cover or RSVP necessary, and new voices are always welcome. Open mic signup will be onsite prior to the event.
Meet us at Cafe Zata a little later in the month for our next open mic opportunity. Grab a bite and/or a beverage, get your name on the list, and settle in for a night of inspiration! Open mic sign up will be available starting at 6:30p. No theme or language restrictions. Beer/wine/light dinner fare will be available (with kitchen open til 8pm). Friday, October 23, 7pm.
We’re rounding out the month with our annual walk through Hollywood Cemetery, Saturday October 24. We’ll meet at the gates and meander, poem-ing. Tis the season! (RSVP is also required for this event, so make sure to get in touch using the “contact” page (or email) if you’re interested in joining.)
Save the date! Our next Poetry Happy Hour is on the books for Tuesday, November 24! Join us at Firehouse Theatre at 6pm for an evening of inspiration (with time built in to catch up with poet-friends over a relaxing beverage–a real happy hour vibe). Stay tuned for announcement of the evening’s feature poet! Doors at 5:30, with open mic signup onsite prior to the event. $5 suggested donation.
