Poetry 719: Queer People of Color Open Mic

The open mic list goes out at 6pm and there will be an incredible feature Natalie Sharp to close out the night.

The event will be hosted by no other than Stoney!

After this event, there will be a Queer Dance Party hosted by the Gallery Below. Make sure to stick around and join the party!

Natalie Sharp is a Black queer writer, dancer, and activist hailing from Savannah, GA and based in Denver, CO.

She is currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing with a concentration in poetry at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where she also taught undergraduate creative writing.

She is invested in the power of poetry as a mode of both healing and reckoning.

Natalie was a 2016 Pushcart Prize nominee, a 2017 Lambda Literary Emerging LGBTQ Voices Fellow in poetry, a finalist for the 2017 Frontier Poetry Award for New Poets and was the 2018 Denver Mercury representative for the Women of the World Poetry Slam.

If you propose to her in a Waffle House, she will probably say yes.
