The Common Press Poetry Night has become a popular event for writers and poets to showcase their work and launch poetry collections.
Join us on 29th September from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM for an evening of poetry & OPEN MIC, hosted by Nicci Praça
If you’d like opportunities to sign up on the night and hop on stage to read at the poetry night, please arrive at 7:00 PM to sign up. Please note that while we will do our best to accommodate as many readers as possible, we cannot guarantee that everyone on the list will have the chance to perform. The theme of the night is Bodies. Being. Becoming.
SPLENDOR:
Bodies that transform. Identities that defy borders. Poetry that speaks to becoming.
Join us for an evening celebrating SPLENDOR: Trans Poets. Five voices from Denmark, Argentina, Korea, Norway, and Quebec exploring what it means to inhabit a body, to change, to claim yourself.
These poems speak of swimming after top surgery, dreaming of jellyfish, burning what no longer fits. They emerge from trans and non-binary experience, yet they illuminate something universal: the courage it takes to become who you are, the relationship between body and self, the search for home in your own skin.
Whether trans, queer, or ally, come share in an evening of poetry, community, and connection. Featuring readings from SPLENDOR, guest poets responding to the collection, and an open mic for all voices.
Poets: To be announced
