Poetica

Calling all lovers of language and late-night inspiration.

On September 14, 2026 at 7:00 PM, we’ll be gathering at Crave Dessert Bar in Uptown for an evening of poetry, creativity and community. In this intimate setting voices will rise and stories will be told for hearts to connect. Our theme for the night is "A Shot for Love", so artists, if you'd like to take the stage please present a piece around your interpretation of our theme for the night.

Bring a friend who loves beautiful words as much as you do or come ready to make a few new ones. If you’d like to share your voice, make sure to get on the open mic list when you arrive. We're encouraging all performers to stick to the theme of "A Shot for Love" for their piece(s). You will have approximately 4 minutes on the mic.
The experience begins at 7:00 PM.
The artist who resonates most with the audience will be our featured artist for our next event! More details to come very soon!

We'll see you there!
