Join IAWA NY’s 2nd Open Read for 2026!
Share if you dare, an excerpt or new 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 2026-27.
Post links to publications; and readings.
Readers will have 5 minutes each per our traditional time limit. We can’t wait to see you and hear your poetry and prose!
You are invited to a Zoom meeting.
When: Aug 13, 2026 06:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
