The 12th Annual Poems Under the Dome
Poems Under the Dome invites you to celebrate National Poetry Month on April 27, 2017! Read your favorite poem or perform one of your own at San Francisco’s largest open mic poetry event inside City Hall. This FREE all-ages event runs from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. in the North Light Court. Visit our website for details, www.poemdome.net.
This unusual opportunity to read poetry in such a unique setting always proves to be popular, and on the day of the reading each of the performance slots will be apportioned by drawing names from our magical hat, and limited to one poem for each reader.
Lotteries for reading slots will also be held prior to the event throughout April at poetry open mics in San Francisco, ensuring a range of voices from our diverse communities. Please visit our website for participation details, www.poemdome.net.
Poems Under the Dome started a dozen years ago when the celebrated counter-cultural icon Diamond Dave Whitaker saw the dome of City Hall glittering in the sun, and exclaimed, "What a great place for poetry!" The incredible support of the Mayor’s Office, the Board of Supervisors, the San Francisco Public Library, and many local sponsors make it possible for this event to celebrate poetry for the twelfth year in the most inclusive, exclusively San Francisco way. Come join us at Poems Under the Dome!
