First Tuesdays
Nexus Poets meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m.
Due to the corona virus, we are temporarily meeting via Zoom. If you’d like to join us via Zoom, email Sam Love to receive an email invitation: SamLove@SamLove.NET.
(Note: In the event of a major holiday, we may move to the second Tuesday. See our Facebook page for updates.)
Our monthly event begins with a reading from our featured poet, and is followed by an open mic, where we welcome poets who would like to read one or two or their original poems. There is no charge for our event. All who would like to contribute to “the hat” to help us pay for our venue may do so.
