The in person Poet's Night Out event will be during Poetry Month on April 28, 2024 at the City Opera House in Traverse City.  Winning poems will be published in the Poets’ Night Out chapbook, and winning poets will be asked to read their poem at this event.  It is a wonderful night--everyone is welcome to this free event as well!

So, tell everyone you can, help spread the word! I've attached a poster if you would like to post one also. Thank you!
