Pizza & Poetry

Hungry to share your work? Come join friends and staff of Poetry Daily on Wednesday, April 15th from 3-5 PM at the Hub Side Pocket for our new annual open mic! Bring a pal and a poem to share, grab some free pizza, and check-out our new merch while you’re at it!

If you already have something you’re dying to share, sign up to read ahead of time here. If you want to feel-out the vibes first, there will also be in-person sign-ups. Need something to read? Feel free to read a poem from almost thirty years of archives published on Poetry Daily's website! We can’t promise that there won’t be supportive snapping and hollering, but we can promise pizza, poems, and plentiful good vibes. See you there!

Each reader will be given 4 minutes to perform. Please time yourself ahead of time to avoid going over the time limit out of respect for the other readers. Note that online sign-ups will be closed at midnight on April 15th.
