We are returning to our First Tuesday in-person events at the public library.NOTE:
-the start time is 6:30 pm. Arrive early to sign up for the open mic.
-the location is the St. Boniface library branch, right across the Provencher Bridge at Provencher and Tache. Free parking is available.
-Polish up your new poems for your 2 minutes of fame at the open mic! (We'll return to 3 minutes at the virtual events, but for now, 2 minutes each seems to work best at the in-person events.)
-No need to register. There will be a sign-up sheet on the back table.
Speaking Crow is a space that values diversity, creativity, and encouragement. Whether you do spoken word or page poetry, whether you have published widely or just started writing, we can't wait to hear your poems. Avoid racist/sexist/transphobic/homophobic/ableist terms and stereotypes to make this a respectful place for all.
If you have questions regarding the event, please email host Angeline Schellenberg: speakingcrow at thinairwinnipeg dot ca.
Speaking Crow is funded and facilitated by Plume Winnipeg (formerly called the Winnipeg International Writers Festival) which is committed to creating safe and respectful opportunities for writers, volunteers, audience members, and workers to share knowledge, explore ideas, and build community.
