Open Mic Poetry

Share your original poems, lyrics, spoken word, or just enjoy listening. Each poet will have five minutes to read an original work. If you wish to read, sign up when you arrive.

Our featured speaker will be Seven Dhar, who performs in English, Sanskrit, Gaelic, and Spanish. A yogi and urban shaman with Native American roots (Kizh/Tongva), Dhar won the San Gabriel Valley Poetry Festival chapbook and broadside contests,  among other honors, and has been published in several anthologies and journals, including The Stone Bird: Anthology of the Eagle Rock Library.

Dhar also was a featured poet at L.A. Shakespeare Fest and LitFest Pasadena along with the troupe Poets in Distress.
