Literary Open Mic at Woodbury Public Library Will Explore the Season

A literary open mic in the gallery will explore the theme of “colors.” Members of the Orenaug Poetry Group, founded three years ago in Woodbury, will be the featured poets.

Woodbury Poet Laureate Sandy Carlson will moderate the open mic. Following the featured presentations, guests will be invited to read poetry or prose that they have written or that they like that is related to the theme of colors. The open mic will close with a community reading of “Colors Passing Through Us” by American novelist and poet Marge Piercy. All are welcome.
