Join us at The Granville Center for the Arts for our highly anticipated Monthly Poetry Open Mic Night. Get ready to be captivated by an unforgettable evening of spoken word magic, expertly guided by our extraordinary host, the one and only Jared Mutchler. *****Need a spark of poetic creativity?***** August’s poetry prompt is “Distraction.” Buzzing phones. Wandering thoughts. That song stuck in your head. Distraction is everywhere—sometimes a nuisance, sometimes a refuge. This month, we invite you to explore the beautiful mess of a mind pulled in a thousand directions. Write about the moment you lost your train of thought, or found a surprising truth when you did. Maybe your poem will follow a meandering path, drift into daydreams, or tumble through the chaos of trying to focus. Whether it’s funny, chaotic, reflective, or unexpectedly profound, let your words wander. Sometimes, getting sidetracked is exactly where the story begins. Poetry prompts are optional and just here to help. Feel free to express yourself with any piece you choose—even if it's completely unrelated to the prompt. **** Doors open at 6:45 PM, sign-ups will be open on a first-come, first-served basis for all aspiring poets, and poetry readings will commence at 7:00 pm. Whether you’re a polished poet or just starting, we invite you to share your original creations or classic favorites. If performing isn’t your thing, no problem! Come along, enjoy the performances, and cheer on the poets. Let’s make it a night to remember with great words and even greater company! Drinks and snacks will be provided. All ages are welcome.
