Ancient City Poet Karl Dean OPEN MIC POETRY AT The Corazon Cinema
THEME: "Celebrate Summer"
SUNDAY, July 28th, 2019
Beat the heat of July and join us for an open mic gathering that will celebrate the sweet sounds of summer.
The Ancient City Poets will host a community poetry open reading on Sunday, July 28th from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Corazon Cinema and Cafe (36 Granada Street, Saint Augustine, Florida, across from the Lightner Museum).
The theme for this reading will be "Summer Daze". Maybe you want to write about a "summer breeze that makes you feel fine" or contemplate the "invincible summer" that Camus spoke about. Lets celebrate summer.
The theme is meant as a writing prompt and it is your choice if you want to follow the theme or not. Give us two or three of your polished poems or share fresh ink from your notebook. Invite a friend or two or three to cheer you on.
A sign-up sheet will be available at 2:30 and the open mic will start at 3:00 pm. Readers will be called to the podium in the order their names appear on the list. The mic will be turned off at 4:30 to allow the last 30 minutes for a meet and greet and networking.

ANCIENT CITY POETS ON YOUTUBE
We have been working hard to document the local poetry scene here in Saint Augustine. We are always looking for college students and film makers with equipment who are interested in shooting footage at the readings. Here is a clip of Andrea Giovanni, shot by Chris Bodor at the June 2019 open mic. The camerawork is a bit shaky. A mono-pod is on order.
The Ancient City Poets Youtube Channel was launched in April of 2018 for National Poetry Month to preserve our past. Subscribe to our channel so you can get notified whenever new footage is added.
