Welcome to POETRY +, a monthly reading series hosted by Art on Madison for emerging and established writers in Cleveland and the surrounding regions. Each month, POETRY + aims to shine the spotlight on two great writers (ideally one from out of town and one local), 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. POETRY + is open to all forms of poetry, short and flash fiction, and performative happenings. POETRY + typically occurs on the 3rd Tuesday of each month, and is currently curated by 2019-2021 Ohio Beat Poet Laureate John Burroughs.
Doors open at 7:00 pm, and the reading begins at 7:30 pm. POETRY + is free and open to the public.
