Share Your Works in Progress
at All Open Mic

Registration on Zoom Required
Join IAWA NY’s 2nd Open Read for 2025!
Share if you dare, an excerpt or a work in progress from 2025 – maybe it is close to publication, maybe not. Briefly tell us why you think it is unfinished — this is a chance to connect, listen, share goals and plans for 2025. Post links to publications.
Readers will have 5 minutes each per our traditional time limit. We can’t wait to see you and hear your poetry and prose!
