Arts on the Road – Poetry in Arizona
Free Association Poetry Open Mic is a monthly event that happens the second Tuesday of every month at Glendale Community College in Glendale, Arizona. The event is open to the public and free to attend. There is an open mic, where anyone can sign up to read their or others’ poetry, from 7:00pm – 8:30pm. Then two featured poets read from 8:30-9:30. Featured poets have included GCC faculty, nationally known poets and local favorites. The goal of this reading is to introduce students and faculty to local poets, and vice versa. All ages and stages of writing are welcomed and encouraged, though this is an uncensored event, so please keep that in mind!
Future Features include Ed Mabrey, the Feb 2007-Dec 2008 Individual World Poetry Slam Champion, Kat Klotsche, one of four poets to represent Mesa at the National Poetry Slam in 2004, Neil Gearns, a member of the 2008 and 2009 Mesa Slam teams, and Cathy Capozzoli, a widely published poet and former guest editor of Many Mountains Moving: The Literature of Spirituality.
The event is organized and ran by the Rorschach Poets, a group of accomplished poets from the Phoenix area dedicated to promoting poetry as a living, breathing, and exciting art form.
