​ANCIENT CITY POETS ON YOUTUBE
Three years ago, for National Poetry Month, Ancient City Poets launched a YouTube Channel to preserve our past. We always encourage video students and volunteers with cameras to help us document the Saint Augustine poetry scene.

Subscribe to our channel so you can get notified whenever new footage is added. Zoom is amazing. You can record the meetings, so we have been getting great recordings on our online event. It is a game changer. Here is the recording of Joel Lipman zooming in for the February 2021 open mic.
