Poetry Night at Cape Charles Memorial Library April 25

CAPE CHARLES, Va. — Poetry enthusiasts, mark your calendars! The Cape Charles Memorial Library is hosting a Poetry Night on April 25 at 7:00 p.m.

All are welcome to come and share, read, or simply listen to the captivating verses. If you’ve never attended a poetry open mic night before, it’s similar to a music open mic night where poets with different levels of experience get to showcase their work in front of an audience. It’s a wonderful opportunity to hear the voices and stories of other poets.

Launched by the Academy of American Poets in April 1996, National Poetry Month is a special occasion that celebrates poets’ integral role in our culture and that poetry matters. Over the years, it has become the largest literary celebration in the world, with tens of millions of readers, students, K–12 teachers, librarians, booksellers, literary events curators, publishers, families, and—of course—poets, marking poetry’s important place in our lives.

For questions or more information, please contact Cape Charles Memorial Library at 757-331-1300.

Come and be part of this celebration of the written word. We look forward to seeing you there!
