Welcome welcome welcome, all!
This is the kick off event for the Bigfoot Poetry Festival - a three day poetry festival taking place all of June 13th - 15th. (See the full list of events here.)
This event will be from 6:00pm - 7:30pm on June 12th, the night before the festival officially kicks off. This will be a space for poets who are in town for the festival to come meet, mingle, and share a poem - and for the local community to come out as well. Plus we'll be hyping up all of the festival events in store!!
We will give priority to poets who are registered with the festival and our volunteers, but there will still be space for local poets to read as well.
This event is hosted by Julia Gaskill & Jane Belinda. The Welcome Open Mic will take place at Guilder Cafe inside of Powell's Books in downtown Portland. Sign ups will start at 5:30pm. This event is FREE!
This venue is ADA accessible - there are stairs to get to the cafe, and there is an elevator to take attendees to where this show is happening.
We hope to see you all there!!
