Join us for a Poetry Open Mic Night! Durham First Selectman Brendan Rea will welcome Durham’s inaugural Poet Laureate, Leslie Bulion. Leslie will read from her work, then we’ll open the mic up to hear poems from area poets. A sign-up sheet will be available for local poets to share one poem (max 5 minutes), up to 14 readers.
Registration is encouraged, and walk-ins are welcome! Snacks and beverages available.
Come celebrate the arts in our community with an evening of poetry!
