Our regular twice-a-month open mic series where the Lowell Poetry community comes together. Held on the first and third Wednesday of every month.

!!! SAVE THE DATE !!!
This will be hosted at our new venue! It’s also the first showcase event of the year, all about love? Valentine’s Day was not so long ago, and we are always in somewhat a love-me or love-me-not mood

/// About the Showcase ///

It has been said that all poems are love poems, so we will be testing this theory with a wide variety of pieces from a special sampling of Untitled Homies!

/// Safer Space & Community Guidelines ///
Check out our community guidelines here

We strive to foster a space of inclusivity and respect. We ask everyone to not bring (in no particular order) ableist, ageist, body shaming, classist, homophobic, misogynist, misandrist, racist, transphobic, oppressive language, attitudes, and actions at the space. We look to hold ourselves and one another accountable to creating a culture in which we treat each other with consent and respect. This includes but is not limited to respecting people's physical and emotional boundaries and receiving explicit verbal consent before touching someone or crossing other personal boundaries. If you are disrupting our safer space we will ask you to leave.

This program is supported through donations from contributors like you.
