We are returning to our Tuesday in-person events at the public library.
NOTE:
-the start time is 6:30 pm. Arrive early to sign up for the open mic and chat.
-the location is the St. Boniface library branch, right across the Provencher Bridge at Provencher and Tache. Free parking is available. The upstairs room is accessible by elevator.
-Polish up your new poems for your 2 minutes of fame at the open mic! (We’ll return to 3 minutes at the virtual events in July and August, but for now, 2 minutes each seems to work best at the in-person events.)
-No need to register in advance. There will be a sign-up sheet on the back table.
Speaking Crow is a space that values diversity, creativity, and encouragement. Whether you do spoken word or page poetry, whether you have published widely or just started writing, we can’t wait to hear your poems. Avoid racist/sexist/transphobic/homophobic/ableist terms and stereotypes, to make this a respectful place for all.
If you have questions regarding the event, please email host Angeline Schellenberg: speakingcrow@thinairwinnipeg.ca.
Speaking Crow is funded and facilitated by Plume Winnipeg (formerly called the Winnipeg International Writers Festival) which is committed to creating safe and respectful opportunities for writers, volunteers, audience members, and workers to share knowledge, explore ideas, and build community.
