Poetry lovers and poets are invited to check out this series that has been happening in St. Augustine since August of 2009. The January theme will be "Brave New World" with co-host Michael Henry Lee and Chris Bodor.

Share two or three of your polished poems or bust out some fresh ink from your notebook during Saint Augustine, Florida's longest-running open mic poetry event. Invite a friend or two or three to view the livestream on FB Live to cheer you on. The new year is here and you are invited to write words to that theme. Maybe you would like to compose a break-up letter to 2020 or an eviction letter to that bastard of a year. The writing prompt is just a suggestion, and you are free to follow it or not. What is important is that the audience gets to know you and your artistic words.

NOTE: At 3:00 PM EST on Sunday, January 31, the FB Live feed for this reading will appear on the following site:

A sign-up sheet will be available at 2:30 and the open mic will start at 3:00 PM. If you would like to share a poem, please let us know through our website. Ancient City Poets will email you the Zoom Meeting ID and any passcode that might be needed. There is space on the list for 15 poets at 5 minutes each. Readers will be called to the virtual podium in the order their names appear on the list.
