Under the Influence- Poets Reading Other Poets
Guild Complex
Here?s a twist. At this open mic instead of reading your own poems, you read the work of poets who have influenced your writing and tell us how and why those writers have had an impact on you. Whether your influences are from the works of Kilping, Kizer, Chuck D, Masters, Ginsberg, Tu Fu, Clifton, Dunbar, Bukowski, Milay, Brecht, Blake, Brooks, Shelley, Dylan, Rich, Paz, Baraka or Rumi, we invite you to share your favorite poems with us.

If you have multiple influences, we encourage you to bring as many poems as you can carry. You will have more than one opportunity to take the stage. It has been a long time since we have had an Under the Influence reading, so if you like this idea we encourage you to cast your vote by showing up if you want to see this series happen more frequently.
