Open Mic Poetry at The Dalí

From time to time the museum's monthly poetry series gives the microphone to the audience, and Open Mic Poetry at The Dalí is the next of those nights. Series curator Helen Pruitt Wallace, a former St. Petersburg poet laureate, co-hosts with Curtis Davis and Dennis Amadeus of GrowHouse, a Tampa collective devoted to poetry and hip-hop. A sign-up list goes up outside the Will Raymund Theater shortly before the start, with 20 slots and three standbys, and each reader gets three minutes. Any style is welcome and mature content is possible. The session is livestreamed and recorded, so poets who do not want to be on camera are asked not to sign up.
