Hear Here Poetry exists to activate and amplify youth voices by providing high-quality access points to writing and performance poetry events and education. We dig deep and plant seeds for community growth, and engage poetry as a life-long skill to enjoy.

In celebration of Arts Month and in partnership with the Poetry719 Poetry Festival, Hear Here Poetry invites youth under 21 to participate in a short writing exercise with voluntary sharing. We will pause, take time, and write together. After the workshop we will gather for an open-mic where readers will have five minutes to share any work of their own, or a cover of someone else's poetry.

Following our youth participants, the list will open to all-ages for reading and sharing. Please come join us to listen, write, and share together! All-welcome, all-ages audience desired!

A feature for this event is Kalani LaSale!
