National Poetry Month tends to focus on big readings with big feature readers. Open mics often get put aside. Stone Soup acknowledges the open mic as the backbone to nearly all reading series in Boston and encourages you to come every Monday this month to participate in the open mic as your way of taking part in this poetry packed month.
The annual festival organized without fail by Harris Gardner and friends
is taking place from April 5-9. I'll be both featuring and hosting the open mic on Saturday, April 8. This
is just one day of the four day event. Please visit the site and take
part in as much as you can. Take in as many poets as you can. It will be
good practice for May.
