The Poetry Cauldron: Columbus, OH Open Mic

The Poetry Cauldron: Columbus, OH Open Mic Weekly open mic known for chair-flipping, title requests, and gay vampire poems. Wednesdays at 8pm.

Some of you may recognize familiar faces from Writer's Block Poetry, where we were first introduced to the Columbus poetry community. It feels important to acknowledge that we would not be the poets (or organizers) we are without Scott Woods, Vernell Bristow, Louise Robertson, and all the Writer's Block "regulars" over the years.

Such a simple, innovative way to make poetry part of everyday neighborhood life.

As seen in clintonville, The words on the box say:”

“Welcome to the Poetry Box
Stop ’n read a poem.
Take a poem sheet, if you’d like.
A new poem will arrive every so often.
Stop by again!”

To the human who set up the box: thank you for inspiring us and showing us that poetry can sometimes escape page and find its neighbors.
