Please register below. Mark Twain Library invites local writers and lovers of literature to join us for an open mic event! Read your own work or someone else’s work, or just listen to others read. All literary genres are welcome, but participants should limit their readings to no more than 5 minutes. We will also accommodate drop-in readers as time permits.
About our emcee: A high school senior in New York City, Anisha is an avid reader and is very passionate about writing (particularly poetry), and is an active member of her school’s poetry club. In 2021, she received the Scholastic Silver Key Award for her poetry and is an alumna of the Kenyon Review Young Writers Summer Program. This fall will mark Anisha’s second time hosting a popular teen poetry workshop series focusing on social justice and activism at the Mark Twain Library.
