Virtual Open Mic – Poetry

Hosted by California Poets in the Schools’ SF Area Coordinator Susan Terence, featuring CalPoets’ Poet-Teachers Claire Blotter and Ernesto M. Garay

Please join California Poets in the Schools for a community open mic at 7pm, Sunday, June 27th.

The event is part of a quarterly series of open mic events meant to foster community amongst our network, and to highlight our fantastic poets.  Each event will spotlight one or two poets from the CalPoets’ network as featured readers, and an emcee (also from the network).

On the 27th, our featured readers will launch the event with a 15 minute reading (each) and then we’ll transition into an open mic.
