Countertop Chants: February Poetry Open Mic
Countertop Chants is proud to host Poetry Open Mics that celebrate our craft, art of all mediums, community, and local businesses.
Join us once a month for a lively open mic at Winter Hill Brewing in Somerville, MA!
This month’s session will be held Tuesday, 2/4 7-9pm.
SCHEDULE
- Signups open at 7 pm.
- Reading starts at 7:30 pm! We have 10 slots for poetry reading, each poet will have 5 minutes at the mic.
- Our reading has an intermission that features a new musical (and local) guest each month, around 8 pm or so. This month’s guest - Spencer Benson. Reading concludes around 9 pm.
ABOUT THE READING
This is a place to share your work, meet new artist friends, explore the Boston area, and have fun. Boston has a strong community of artists and writers and they deserve an inclusive space to connect and enjoy their art while still making it a party. We are here to celebrate life, arts, and our community.
This is not a competition! There will be no winners, there is no featured poet, and there is no expected format. Tell us your dreams through acrostic poems, give us just a taste of your despair with a haiku. Whatever form you take, we celebrate it.
We do book our intermission act in advance. If you are interested in playing acoustic music, doing an interpretative dance, or something that compliments the poetic medium, drop us a line at [email protected]
ABOUT THE SPACE
We are hosting our poetry sessions in the front bar space of Winter Hill Brewing. We are teaming up with local businesses to foster our local artists. There is no cover to get in, but there is a cash/credit card bar and cafe! So please enjoy libations during the reading and have a little fun with us.
