Open Mouth Poetry 2023

Open Mouth Poetry will provide an opportunity for local poets to read their original poetry in front of a supportive audience. Open to all poets aged 15 and older, this event is dedicated to the memory of Liz Madden-Zibman, a beloved community member, wife, and poet.

In support of Arts and Health month, Open Mouth Poetry will be held each November to promote poetry’s role in healing, affirming, and nurturing healthy individuals. Poetry themes may be diverse, but the salve of the art form will carry throughout.

Cost to participate is Free. Readers can sign up upon entry to the event. Each reader gets a limited amount of time to read.

Everyone is welcome to attend.
Registration is requested for planning purposes, but not required.
Walk-ins are welcome too!
