What do we do?
What do we do?
Foster Community Safety
Poetry House is proud to foster community safety through our Community Talk Back-a facilitated discussion where we discuss community health, safety, and support before we kick off our open mic.
Feature Emerging Voices
We support emerging voices and upcoming artists by providing them an opportunity to showcase their talents through featured slots and publication in our zine.
Free Workshops
Poetry House is sponsored in part by OneLoveOneMic, an organization providing free workshops to community residents and attendees. These include generative workshops.
Poetry House expects to release an editing and publishing workshop in Fall 2024!
