rabbit&wolf spaces are created to be safe and nurturing. respect and tolerance are required.

if you’ve never read your poetry out loud before, come to an open mic. you can be as shy as you want, but bring something to read in case you find your bravery (we’ll all be there to help). content is open to anything except hate speech.

there are also curated readings and events that pair poetry with the unexpected - the wild ideas will continue to unfold .

with your help, we’re building the sweetest community i’ve ever witnessed. keep showing up with your hearts in your mouths ready to speak what you know.

Queer Poetry Night

Please come and listen and feel and be brave and be shy. Bring us your poems or someone else's poems that you want to read out loud or a nice or sexy story that you want to tell in 5 minutes or less. Make us think, laugh, or squirm with delight or discomfort. Get wild or stay tame. We're all here to see it

**first time readers and non-reading observers encouraged**

This is a queer centered, ally friendly space. Content is open to anything except hate speech. Respect and tolerance are required.

Due to flood damages, this will not be able to take place at Bent Nails Bistro. Consider donating to their GoFundMe if that is possible for you.

If it is rescheduled when our beloved Bistro is back on its feet, you’ll know about it!

Poets for Flood Relief Update:

As of 7/29, we raised $875 for Another Way in Montpelier and The Rainbow Bridge Community Center in Barre City. Both organizations do incredibly important work in our communities and supporting them is directly supporting the folks who live here. In the works: an onsite reading at Another Way.
