Jacob Scheier London Open Mic Poetry NIght is becoming more of a social occasion than ever, with much of the audience chatting over wine for an hour or more after the poetry has finished. The Mykonos is open for an extra two hours now, so our musicians play not only for half an hour before the poetry begins and again during the intermission, but also for a while into the night as the conversations warm up over the Greek food and drinks.
This evening featured poet Jacob Scheier, currently Writer-in-Residence at the Algoma University campus in St. Thomas and the 2008 Governor-General's Award winner, read some amazing poetry from his latest book Letter from Brooklyn. He was followed by a full slate of fifteen open mic poets, reading a wide variety of poetry, including several great performance poems.
The audience of 45 went home satisfied.
