QueerPDXpressions

A Queer Poetry Open Mic & Showcase

QueerPDXPressions

QueerPDXpressions (previously Queer Poetry Takeover) is an audaciously queer poetry open mic for sharing our words & inspiring each other in community hosted by Given Davis.

QueerPDXpressions centers the multitude of identities and experiences within the LGBTQIA2+ community while holding the values of connection, non-competition, and non-judgement. This event continued to foster connection throughout the pandemic by holding monthly open mics virtually. It is currently held every 3rd Thursday of each month at Sante’ Bar—a Black, queer, and woman-owned ADA accessible establishment in NW Portland—and features two featured guest poets!

Grab your poems, grab a drink, grab some inspiration.
