We have 2 features each evening - one NY area poet and one
"from afar." We're always looking for features. The venue is
in transition for in person events but will continue live
streaming.
Every Monday this June, July and Auigust. They will do zoom
should inclement weather or other circumstances prompt
them.
Spaces are
limited and will be allocated at the discretion of the
committee.One of our criteria will be to include a mix of
genres (some poetry, some non-fiction prose, some fiction),
so while
we won't ask you what specifically you are reading , nor
"judge" or preview material -- we would like to know the
genre of your work.

Day + Local Standard Time: Fridays:
7 pm MT,
Host/Contact: Cortney Collins: grasshoppa@yahoo.com
"We change the Zoom link weekly to safeguard against
Zoombombing, as a few of our members have experienced
traumatic
Zoombombings elsewhere.
Our Face book group, Zoem Poetry Open Mic: https://www.facebook.com/groups/315364949630804
Please answer the
questions or we will assume you are a bot:
We disseminate everything via our Zoem-specific email list
(65 members at present) and the Face book group. This
includes the link to the weekly
Google doc signup sheet, disseminated Mondays, and the
weekly Zoom link, sent out Fridays. We send both in both
places, for the non-social media people.
Our only guidelines are: 1) No hate or
hate speech whatsoever--all the "isms" and "phobias" we are
all aware of, 2) Zoem is a kindness
& encouragement
only space (no feedback on our work, constructive or
otherwise), and 3) 5-minute time slots.
We do bring poetry with adult themes liberally, and have
been known
to share works with F-bombs, for example, so attendance by
minors (18 and under) is discouraged. Please email me to get
on the list to receive all relevant links.
I hosted every Friday until about mid-October 2020, and then
handed the venture off to the community. We now rotate
hosting duties. Anyone interested is more than
welcome and encouraged to host. The host is also responsible
for bringing a prompt on Fridays, with which we build our
collective poem, our Zoetry, as it's come to be
called, in the chat room. Curation and editing of the weekly
Zoetry is also on a rotating, volunteer basis, and is a lot
of fun!"

Cultivating Voices is a live weekly poetry reading series
established and curated by Sandy and Beth Yannone in
response to the worldwide shutdown of in-person
readings with the COVID-19 pandemic. "In time of crisis, we
summon all our strength," wrote Muriel Rukeyser in her 1949
book The Life of Poetry. During the
pandemic, The Cultivating Voices Poetry Open Mic is a
virtual LIVE venue where lovers of poetry come together to
listen as writers worldwide summon their
strength and promote social unity through the literary arts.
Hosted by Sandy Yannone, author of Boats for Women (Salmon
Poetry, 2019). Please join us. All welcome!
