Poetry Spoken Here

The Open Mic of the Air is a new project from Poetry Spoken Here. Since in-person events are temporarily suspended due to coronavirus, this is a way for poets from around the world to connect and have a creative outlet while staying safe at home. This first Open Mic of the Air features poets from Brazil, Mexico, India, both coasts of the United States, and the heartland. Give a listen and submit your work for the next episode! Send a recording - 5 mins or shorter - of yourself reading one of your poems, including your name and location, to openmicoftheair@gmail.com.
