When we write, we find ourselves in a world of our own creation, one in which we can feel free to imagine and experience new narratives, new relationships, and new ways of being. Join us as we share our liberation poetry (and other original writings). Together we will honor our spirits, our muses, and our communities with our words. Open mic format. All are welcome!
