In this quiet and carefully held space, poets will share their work before a small audience who gather not merely to attend, but to listen. The evening invites poems, personal stories, reflections, and moments of silence in between.
Unlike conventional open-mic events, The Listening Room encourages presence, respect, and deep listening. Each voice is given space, and each listener becomes part of the experience.
Seats are intentionally limited to maintain an atmosphere of calm, intimacy, and meaningful connection.
We welcome poets and listeners who wish to spend an evening with poetry in its most attentive form.
This is a space for authentic voices. Poets are required to share their own original poetry, stories, or narratives. Reciting another poet's published work is not permitted.
For poets who wish to read their poetry during the session.
For guests who wish to attend and listen to the readings.
Includes 1 Performing Poet seat + 1 Listener seat (Guest).
