Bringing the spirit of the Joseph Sherman New Member Reading into the League’s new digital landscape, we are excited to now be hosting regular virtual events where members can read poetry and see each other’s lovely faces!
Events will not be recorded for distribution after the event. Live Transcription will be enabled for all events.
Events will feature 10-15 poets maximum, who will read for 3-4 minutes (typically 1-3 poems). No payment is offered for participation; these are casual, community-building events to help connect poets in similar regions or communities!
Use the forms linked below to sign up; the first 15 poets to register will be contacted to confirm their availability. These events are open to all LCP members.
Upcoming events:
- Black History Month open mic for Black members: Monday, February 6, 7-8pm EST
