The WCPA has helped a few area poetry reading hold virtual space for poetry during this long year. Among them are the Deep Thoughts Open Mic from Bedlam Book Cafe, the long-running artists collaborative known as the Free People’s Workshop, and the Thirsty Lab Poetry Series. At least two more readings are happening in 2020.

Next Tuesday, December 22, join A virtual Thirsty Lab Poetry Reading with Ethna McKiernan, and on December 29, join A virtual Thirsty Lab Poetry Reading with Joe Fusco Jr.

Both readings require registration to receive a Zoom online meeting link. Details can be found on the Facebook events. We hope you’ll come through and enjoy some wonderful poetry as the year crawls to a close.
