How YOU can read in City Hall!


Reading slots are limited to ONE poem, not to exceed THREE MINUTES! We want to get as many poets up to the mic as possible! Be kind! Make time for other poets by reading 3 minutes or shorter!

Please, NO MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS! Bring your words!

Reading slots are drawn by free lottery! To increase the number of names drawn at Poems Under the Dome on April 19th, there will be only one lottery at the Beat Museum! On Friday, April 13th at the Beat Museum, 7 lucky readers will be drawn!  Can't make it? Don't worry! This means that many more readers will be drawn at Poems Under the Dome. (In the past, 20 readers were pre-drawn. Now, only 7!)


Come to Poems Under the Dome and put your name in the free lottery for a reading slot! You must put your name in the lottery on the day of the event at City Hall! We will have drawings for reading slots at City Hall on April 19th. The drawings will begin at early in the program, and readers will be drawn through the evening.
