This unique Toastmasters meeting invites members and guests alike to bring a poemā€”famous, fun, or originalā€”and share it in a warm, supportive space. Each reader has 1ā€“3 minutes, and we encourage you to tell us why you chose your poem.

Itā€™s not a typical Toastmasters meeting and not a competitive slamā€”itā€™s a chance to enjoy poetry together in a meaningful and interactive way.

āœØ Come to read, or simply listen and be inspired.
