We start with a sharing of a poem that we love by other poets and discussing those poems. Then, once everyone has shared poetry they love, if anyone would like to share one of their poems and receive feedback, we will move into that. Please bring a book of poetry, a print out from a website, or any piece of poetry that you love to share with the group! Sharing your own work is optional.

If you have any work to share at the meeting, please email 1 - 2 poems to Vanessa by the Wednesday before the meeting.

Our March open mic was one of our favourites to date, with so many new writers in attendance! We’re already looking forward to APRIL’s open mic and sincerely hope that you and some friends can join us.

In case you haven’t heard, new this year we’ve introduced a NEW FORMAT to the open mic:

- To encourage fresh writing and spark creativity, each month the Open Mic will feature a different THEME, accompanied by a writing prompt provided by us! Priority will be given to writers who will be reading pieces related to that monthly theme/prompt.

- We will also be reserving 2 reading spots at each event for those who are inspired in the moment and who want to get up behind the mic spontaneously. So even if you're not on the list, bring your writing, sign up the night of, and be prepared!

Our APRIL writing prompt is:

GROWTH.

We can’t wait to hear what you will come up with for the APRIL 25th Open Mic @ 7pm at The Gallery - Coffee House & Bistro.

We'd like to encourage all ages, levels, and genres of writers to sign up to read for this event, as we’d like to have as diverse of a readers’ list as possible for this growng event.

This event is free and open to all but please keep in mind that priority is given to PEIWG members for getting on the readers list. If you'd like to be one of the readers, please submit by email to OPENMIC@PEIWRITERSGUILD.COM and readers will be notified leading up to the event!
