I'm So New Jersey
Bogies, Euphoria, Serengeti Plains, Mardi Grass Grill, Lyrical Riot… If any of these poetry venues sounds familiar to you, you might be from New Jersey. Before social media and before cell phones could text Jersey poets would travel in groups of ten or more to poetry venues throughout the tri-state area. Join us as we reminisce, share poems, stories, and discuss what it is like to be an artist during the COVID-19 pandemic. This event will be followed by an open mic and everyone is welcomed. Even if you are not from the Garden State.
