Pigeon Poetry Experiment | Show, Open Mic & Writing Workshop
About this Event
Wanna get out of the house to try something different? Looking for connection & community? You've come to the right place!
At Pigeon Poetry, we cultivate safer, accessible spaces for artists to share their work, practice their craft and experiment, form new connections & foster friendships with our open mic, creative writing exercises and discussion circle.
Join us for a night of beat poetry, writing & diverse voices at Pigeon Poetry (previously known as Plum Poetry) in the Birds Nest Cafe. Get ready to be inspired by talented poets and musicians.
You say you aren't creative? We beg to differ; see for yourself. Whether you're a seasoned poet or just enjoy listening to beautiful words, this event is for you. Grab a drink, find a cozy spot, and let the poetry transport you. See you there! https://vividillusion.studio
