Join us for a featured reading by San Francisco Poet Laureate Emerita Kim Shuck, followed by a low-stress open mic, where you can share poems of your own, favorite poems by other poets, or just listen to the work being shared. Our bi-monthly community poetry event, normally held at the welcoming Café Zoë in Menlo Park, is currently meeting online.

Co-hosts San Mateo County Poet Laureate Emerita Lisa Rosenberg, and local poet Monica Korde, invite poets of all ages and writing styles to participate in the open mic. Please email Lisa at LRconsulting@me.com for Zoom link and Open Mic signup (put “OPEN MIC” in email subject line).
