Call For Poets

Bring your wise, wild, and wacky words to Amplify’s Poetry Open Mic Night starting at 7 p.m.on Thursday, May 2, 2024 at Confections Cake Co. Whether you’re there to perform or to simply enjoy the work of St. Albert’s young creatives, warm up your snapping fingers, grab some dessert and settle in for an evening of poetry performance that’s sure to vacillate from emotional to playful to honest to irreverent and back again.  

  • With hosts: Amplify Advisory Committee Members, Hannah Hughes and Brooklynn Shaw
  • And special guest performance by: Medgine Mathurin

While we will be accepting registration at the door, please register in advance to ensure your spot by completing the form below.
