Celebrate Poetry Month at the Hoboken Free Public Library! Join us for the grand finale at an Open Mic on April 30th, where you are encouraged to come dressed as a poet (your favorite, or your own spin on the look) and enjoy typewritten poetry displayed throughout the space. The open mic will feature Hoboken's Danny Shot.
You can sign up to read your work starting at 5:30 PM. Each poet will have 5 minutes to read. Slots are limited and available on a first come, first-served basis.
