And yes you’ve heard libros Lincoln heights is closing their doors, heartbeat circle open mic will return but TBD of the new location. So come out share your voice, your poetry, your well wishes.
This is a special night as we celebrate the debut book release of Shayne Haskens full length poetry book.
Let’s celebrate joy, and bring in new well wishes for an uncertain future, but either way let’s have our cake and make the most of it. Set fire to the mic and make it rain.

We got the grant!!!
Huge thanks to the California Arts Council, making 50 years of creative impact! Thank you for selecting us to receive a $12,000 operations grant!

Y'all know how we do it, bridging the creative community across Los Angeles county and beyond with nearly 100 events each year! We feature nearly 300 unique artists a year across our events landscape, and offer our mic to 1000s to express themselves.

It's such an honor for us to be of service.

If you'd like to help our mission, we have a current campaign to help maintain our current technology and programming costs. You would be a big help with a gift of $10. It goes a long way.

Our grant will not be gifted until January, so your teamwork will absolutely help our dreamwork.

Muchos abrazos. Many thanks and yaaaaaay LA Poet Society!
We did it!
