Hi all -<br />
<br />
While we're all doing our part to slow the spread of COVID-19, we all want and need ways to stay engaged socially and creatively. To help with that, Ann Arbor Poets Online has teamed up with the Open Mic Poetry Meetup to bring you a new online forum for sharing your work!<br />
<br />
The team here is going to be putting up new writing prompts a few times a week to get you launched on a new poem or piece of flash fiction.<br />
<br />
Plus, we're hosting a weekly ZOOM meeting where we can share what we've written.<br />
<br />
Details will be coming soon on this site, and on Facebook and Meetup.<br />
