Do you have a poem or short essay that the world needs to hear? If so, come to the annual holiday Open Mic Poetry Night at the Pump House Center for the Arts.

The event is hosted by the Southern Ohio Writers and Readers Collaborative, or SOWriters. It is the group’s way to give back to the community, which has given so much to them. Last year’s event featured great poets and writers, wonderful local musicians and fabulous food.

Please RSVP through the SOWriters website: https://dgaskill.wixsite.com/sowriters or by contact the Pump House directly. Although not required, your RSVP will help ensure how much food to provide.

**All works must be family-friendly.
