Mad Mouth Poetry presents Black Poets Matter

Black Poets Matter is a six-week curated poetry reading series with the goal of amplifying and centering Black and multiracial voices. Readings will occur every Saturday through Aug. 15. Each night will comprise six poets reading for seven minutes each with a 30-minute special featured poet.

Mad Mouth Poetry is a coalition of multicultural poets who strive to create and maintain spaces of self-expression that are anti-racist, anti-sexist and safe for everyone. We seek to prioritize and amplify the voices of poets that we believe to be under-represented: poets of color, intersectional feminist poets, and poets who are non-binary or non-conforming with regards to gender identity and sexual orientation. All are welcome.
