Monthly Poetry

Imari

Valerie Nieman

First Tuesdays

Nexus Poets meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at The Harrison Center—311 Middle Street in downtown New Bern, NC. 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.
