Welcome to POETRY +, a monthly reading series hosted by Art on Madison for emerging and established writers in Cleveland and the surrounding regions. POETRY + aims to shine the spotlight on a single writer, providing them with the platform and time necessary to present a body of their work and to connect with their audience. Each presenter is given the freedom to decide which materials and anecdotes they will share, and can determine the duration of their reading. POETRY + is open to all forms of poetry, short and flash fiction, and performative happenings.
Doors open at 7:00 pm, and the reading begins at 7:30 pm. POETRY + is free and open to the public.
