Second Saturday Poetry Salon
November 9 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
A comfortable environment to share your work or talk about poems and poets who interest you. Poets of all levels are welcome, but these free programs are intended for adults.
November’s optional prompt is “Confessional.”
There will be a short talk at 7:40 on November’s featured poet, Sylvia Plath, from queer poet and artist Shailyn Elliott. When Shailyn Elliott isn’t writing, they can be found crocheting or doodling with watercolors. They currently reside in Ohio with their black cat names Catastrophe.
Given the powerful and intensely personal nature of confessional poetry, we are setting aside the first half-hour or so for poems that are not confessional in nature. Don’t be shy! Come out and read us some poems!
Free bottled water, coffee, and cookies.
This program may run longer or shorter depending on attendance.
