Queen's Room this time rather than the Gallery. it's close to the front door. Ask the staff if you have trouble finding us.
Charles and I arrive by 1pm ish to set up. You are welcome to come at any time. We will have ten spots for readers of poetry at no more than five minutes each for time on stage. If there are more than ten people we will do a draw to determine the readers. The goal is to create a welcoming and safer space for all and to share poetry. Please consult the guidelines at tinyurl.com/bywordsopenmic. If you have any questions or concerns or anything you would like to discuss beforehand, please e-mail me at amanda at bywords dot ca. This is a free event. I will give away three poetry objects/chapbooks as door prizes! Thanks to all who read and attended our first open mic in January!
