October 8, 2020
Stop by The Exchange from September 8, 2020 onward -
- view the artwork on display.
- Be inspired, write a poem, and submit the poem to be displayed at the Exchange later in the month.
- Another option is to submit artwork on the theme; which means getting it done before September 5, 2020 for the longest viewing time.
Join us at The Exchange for a reading of the poems on October 8, 2020 at 7:30 pm.
The artwork theme will be Doppleganger [an apparition or double of living person].
There is a maximum limit of 15 people for the reading; social distance is the limiting factor.
However, the reading will live-streamed via Facebook for more folks to view and hear.

September 3, 2020
Theme: Viral Verse or Poetry in a pandemic
We have been in a weird place for five months or so and do not know how much longer we will be in altered arrangements. Regardless, there must be poetry. Possible topics could be isolation, social distancing, masks, or a zombie apocalypse.
Please follow social distancing and wear masks.
The location is in the Columbia Mall. There is a gazebo near the Spirit Halloween store. There are a limited number of cafe tables and chairs.
