We understand that many wonderful poets are not "open mic-ers" per se, but we would love for you (or your poet friends) to attend one of these events. If you cannot attend and are interested in this unique opportunity, please e-mail sharmon@soulisticplayhouse.org.

Note: We also want to be sure to meet artists where you are at. If there is a Minneapolis-based open mic or other event showcase you feel we should attend between now and Wed., May 10, please e-mail sharmon@soulisticplayhouse.org.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Should you have any questions,  please forward them to Stephenetta (sharmon@soulisticplayhouse.org) or Mankwe  (mankwe@c4ia.org).
