Sit down with your favorite meal/snack and beverage on Saturday, JULY 25, 2020 from 3-6pm EST. Salon Curator JP Howard & Salon poet Cynthia Manick - Author, will co-host this Salon which features and celebrate LGBTQ+ poets. Our community and our writers are resilient and during these challenging times we come together in creative ways to celebrate that we are here, our voices are powerful and also to confirm that poetry shared is poetry that heals. JP Howard will begin by sharing a few writing prompts that you can use at a later time and then we will spend some time in break-out groups to check in with each other across the country/world. Our fierce featured poets will each share their powerful poetry. We will end with an open mic and will try to accommodate as many writers as we can. Depending on the turnout, we may not be able to accommodate everyone who wants to share during the open mic, but will try to fit as many writers in as possible this month. If not, join us next month! Each Open Mic poet/writer can ONLY share one poem or short other genre piece, no longer that 2 to 3 minutes MAX. Sign up here to receive invites to future Salons: http://eepurl.com/lNK0b
