About this Event
Ali Mae’s work moves with honesty, humor, vulnerability. Poetry that feels fiercely real and unafraid to explore the human experience in all its complexity.
Ali Mae's voice is sharp, thoughtful, and deeply engaging , and at times hilariously thought-provoking, at others quietly revealing...always authentic. Ali Mae’s poems navigate the poetic terrain of identity, self-reflection, irony, and the messy spaces where vulnerability becomes strength. She is a presence that doesn’t shy away from complexity but makes it feel lived.
As always at a Strangely Spoken Feature, we’ll begin with our Featured set, followed by a brief intermission, then open mic poetry until 9 p.m., welcoming voices from the community, both seasoned and first-time readers alike.
Come early, grab a cider or mead, and settle in for an evening of poetry that’s honest, surprising, and unforgettable. Tickets not required.
