Join us on April 26th to celebrate National Poetry Month at the bookshop! Since our Women’s History Month Open Mic was so inspirational, we’re hosting another Open Mic night and looking for some poets to perform! National Poetry Month was inaugurated by the Academy of American Poets in 1996. Over the years, it has become the largest literary celebration in the world with schools, publishers, libraries, booksellers, and poets celebrating poetry’s vital place in our culture.
If you are interested in participating in the Open Mic, please email zora@astoriabookshop.com by APRIL 22nd to reserve a slot. Include a short explanation of what you intend to, plus a time estimate of your reading/performance. The maximum amount of time we can offer is 10 minutes.
