It’s something new from OPA!

We had so much fun during our virtual readings in March and April that we wanted to bring people together again over the summer for some more opportunities to share poetry together with our Themed Third Friday Birthday Parties.

Themed Third Friday Birthday Parties

On Friday, July 16th, we’ll kick it off at 7 p.m. over Zoom with a celebration of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda’s birthday (b. July 12, 1904). To prepare for the evening, please read his poem “The Sea.” Then, either bring your own poem about the sea to read OR write a new poem about the sea that is somehow inspired by Neruda’s poem. Special Fun: Poets with July birthdays will get to read their sea poems and/or one or two other poems as the first part of our program. After that, we’ll have an open mic where sea poems (or any other kind) are welcome!

Mark your calendar for these upcoming Themed Third Friday Birthday Parties:

July 16: Come celebrate Pablo Neruda and "The Sea"

August 20: Come celebrate Wendell Berry and "How to be a Poet"

September 17: Come celebrate May Oliver and "The Summer Day"
