OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS: POETRY OPEN MIC AND READING SERIES

Open Books, Saturday, December 13 at 07:00 PM PST

We’re still basking in the wonder of this weekend’s OPP! If you missed it or simply can’t get enough, we’ve got good news for you—the next OPP is just around the corner on December 13! We’re particularly excited for this one because our featured readers are three of the hosts of Seattle’s other wonderful reading series: @dario_poetry of @speakoutseattle_, @katieleeellison of @nonfictionfornoreason, and @asterviridae of @transplants_zine! We can’t wait to uplift the luminaries behind these reading series and hear them read other people’s poems 🤩

Join us at @openpoetrybooks on Dec 13 for a night of poetry! This is also a great opportunity to practice your poem for Open Books’ Palestine by Heart poetry memorization challenge to raise funds for The Sameer Project. For more information and to sign up for the challenge, check out @openpoetrybooks website!

This project is supported in part by a grant from @kc4culture 🧁
