WAYE: A Poetry Reading Series – Vol. 5, Episode 9
Advertisement
WAYE: A Poetry Reading Series is back three days before Halloween (10/28) with another group feature coming to us from one of NJ's longest running series.
OUR FEATURED GROUP
Red Wheelbarrow Poets, Inc. is a community of poets based in Rutherford NJ, home of William Carlos Williams, where it hosts a free monthly reading series and open mic in The Little Theatre at Felician University on the first Wednesday of every month. The group also hosts a free weekly poetry workshop on Zoom, and since 2007, they've been publishing an annual anthology of work by the community, and they just released RWB19 this month.
FOR THE OPEN
Sign-up for our open mic sessions begins at 7:30 PM. Once you arrive at Sure Things (561 Palisade Avenue), please print your name on the list, which has an initial cap of 15 poets who will each poet will have 5 minutes to showcase their work. (Basically, one to three pieces of short to moderate length, including any prep, prologues, and plugs.) IF THE LIST IS FULL, we'll bump the cap to 20 so more poets can be heard; in that case, each poet will recite one poem to ensure we are be done by 10 PM. (It is a school night, after all.)
Again, be sure to arrive at 7:30 PM to secure a spot on the list, since it does fill up quickly; and please keep in mind that the list will be set out no earlier than 7:30.
Also, this is a poetry reading series and open mic, which means spoken word, slam, performance poetry, short prose pieces, and similar forms of poetic expression are welcome. As much as we love music, musical accompaniment, and comedy, this is not the venue for these forms of expression.
SOME QUICK SHOPKEEPING
First, the shop is small and seating is limited. If you want/need a seat, please arrive early to claim one; otherwise, it'll be standing room only.
Second, there's a $5 CASH ONLY cover, 100% of which goes directly to our featured group. Again, this is CASH ONLY; no Venmo, Cash App, Zelle or other forms of electronic payment will be accepted at the door, so please bring some paper money with you.
As always, We Appreciate Your Enthusiasm and look forward to seeing you all on the 28th!
