Our Mission
London Open Mic Poetry is the only poetry organization meant specifically for local poets of all genres and ability levels.
Our mission is to help create and support the poetry community in the London region by providing more places and situations for them to meet and be stimulated in their art.
To that end, London Open Mic hosts two monthly reading series featuring local established poets as well as open mic readers. The featured poets are promoted with popular interviews that are widely read on the internet and in social media. At these events we try to bring together a large variety of poets, not only the well-published more-senior artists but also the relative beginners who need a forum in which they can test their poems on an audience. And we want to provide off-campus events for all those students who are revelling in the excitement of building poetic minds. Of course we also want to provide enjoyment to people who simply love reading and listening to poetry.
London Open Mic is always looking for other ways to contribute to the community, contributing readings to various community events, hosting workshops and promoting any other viable poetry-related ideas in any part of the community.
