For everyone who has been turned away from a Grandma’s House open mic in the past because the list was full—this is your month! There is no featured poet this month, so I’ll be extending the open mic and having more slots open for y’all to share your work. Can’t wait to see what y’all have been cooking up!

Sign-up starts at 8:30!

***$5 suggested donation***


Grandma’s House is a poetry show and open mic tucked in a corner of Kibbitznest Books, Brews & Blarney. Hosted by Chicago poet and self-proclaimed Grandma, Caroline M. Watson, Grandma's House is Chicago's coziest poetry show. Come on out to perform some of your work or to watch our featured poet. It’s just like being in your Grandma’s living room, only with fewer mothballs and more earth-shattering poetry.
