Favorite Poem Open Mic

Santa Barbara Public Library invites the community to a poetry open mic. In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month and the Latino Poetry initiative, Places We Call Home, poets and poetry lovers are invited to read a favorite poem that speaks to and from our Latino community. Check out the newly published Latino Poetry Anthology and discover poems from more than 180 Latino poets. Participants may also read their own poems in English, Spanish, Spanglish, or indigenous languages to Latin America. Poets will be limited to 3-minutes per poem. Hosted by Santa Barbara Poet Laureate, Melinda Palacio.
