Description

Poetry on Tea Leaves is a black, brown, and queer open mic and SAFE SPACE. The intention of Poetry on Tea Leaves is to provide an intimate, healing, and low stakes environment for Black, Brown, and Queer folks to read and share poetry. We read poetry, write, discuss, and perform our own prose. Led by our co-hosts , local writers and performers, Ayjshane and Raphaella the Swan. We will start by reading, and discussing selected poems from a talented (Black, Brown, Queer) poet. During the session we will write about what inspires us, then we light up the mic. The setting of this event is inside West China Tea House. We will be sitting on floor pillows (other seating is available as well ) sharing tea, writing, and discussing what comes up inside of us after reflecting on the works. This is an ego free zone. We sit together on the same level. All Are Welcome. Please come with an open mind and heart.
