Cultivating Contemplation: A Poetry Night

Step into a world of introspection at our March Poetry Night, a new rendition of our monthly Open Mic Nights that fuses poetry and engaging discussion. Join us from 6-8 PM at Justin Gaffrey Gallery for this intimate and immersive experience where words come alive and thoughts intertwine.

To read a poem of your own, please purchase a ticket and submit your piece to emeraldcoaststorytellers@gmail.com. We’ll have around 8-10 spots open so don’t hesitate to submit! Each piece will revolve around a central theme (to be announced!). Participants are invited to share their work along with insight into the inspiration and perspective behind their creation.

After each reading, the audience will have an opportunity to reflect on the poem presented and the meaning behind it.

All poems will be compiled into a curated packet beforehand to serve as a literary canvas for our audience. Attendees are encouraged to follow along each reading while marking lines and themes that resonate to explore in the follow-up discussion that will delve into the heart of each piece.

Let’s take this opportunity to connect, reflect, and ‘cultivate contemplation’ through the expression of poetry.
