PHILADELPHIA!, it’s time to gather under the city lights and let the words ignite your soul. Poetry After Dark isn’t just a showcase—it’s an experience, a journey into the raw, the real, and the beautifully vulnerable.

Before the questions start rolling in… This is not (necessarily, but it could be…LOL) an erotic open mic (although the metaphors might get spicy ). This is where poets come to lay it all on the stage—love, loss, laughter, and life.

To every Poet stepping up to the mic: your words matter. Your story matters. And to the audience, thank you for being the heartbeat of this art form. Together, we create magic.

See you at Poetry After Dark, where the night belongs to us.
