Future Readings

SoulFood Poetry Night readings start at 6:00 p.m. on the third Thursday of the month, with occasional exceptions. We begin with our two featured readers, take a break, and then have the open-mic reading until 8:00 p.m. Click the names of the following groups, organizations, or poets to see photos and bios for our featured readers (names are added as they are confirmed). Readings are free. Everyone welcome!
