LOUDTHOTZ OPEN POETRY READING

Loudthotz is an Open Poetry Reading platform where poets and lovers of poetry gather every second Thursday of the month to read, listen, critique, and review poems and enjoy an evening of poetic bliss.

This is our 15th year of doing this.

HOW LOUDTHOTZ WORKS

1. If you are a poet and want to read your poem during the open reading, send your poem on the theme of the month to loudthotz@gmail.com. before the scheduled date.

The theme for November is SEPARATE 

2. If you are a lover of poetry and just want to listen and enjoy an evening of poetic bliss join us online via Zoom. 

The link will be shared in due time.

3. During the open reading, all poems are displayed on a big screen for the authors of each of the poems to read or perform.

4. After the reading, the poem is reviewed, and critiqued by the audience and the author is called upon to talk about his/her poem.

5. After all poems have been read or performed, the best poem of the night is selected. All poems will be displayed on our blog
