About Poetry House:
Organized in collaboration with iD Studio Theater, Poetry House is the first queer-centric poetry reading and open mic event hosted in the South Bronx by Scarlet Gomez. After experiencing several encounters of homophobia and transphobia at other Open Mic events throughout the five boroughs, Scarlet decided to carve out a space where hate of any kind would not be tolerated. Poetry House welcomes everyone, and works diligently to provide a safe and welcoming space for BIPOC and queer artists to gather and share their art.
Sponsored by One Love One Mic- Uplifting voices that would otherwise not be heard!
