In honor of National Poetry Month, the Brown Memorial Tutoring Program and the Ivy Bookshop invite you to a night of good-spirited competitive poetry reading! Compete in one of the below categories or just simply enjoy an evening of Poetry on the Patio:

  • Read an Old Favorite – where you can either bring a beloved poem or choose from a collection that will be available at the event
  • Recite an Original – where you can share a poem you have written
  • Write Right Now – you will be given a prompt to compose a poem on the spot

Each presentation should not be more than 3 minutes long.  There will be a panel of judges and a prize awarded in each category.

Snacks will be provided, and a cash bar will be available.

This is a free event but donations are welcome to benefit Brown Memorial Tutoring Program (BMTP). You can join a giving level when you RSVP for this event.
