NOTE:
Each session’s HOST has full authority over the evening. They determine when to have an intermission, how many time slots to honor, and when the evening comes to an end. The HOST as well is singularly in charge of any ground rules for the evening including content, participation, and the venue itself.
No hate speech, violence, racism, misogyny, or disrespectful disruptive behavior will be tolerated. No predatory behavior will be tolerated. As an ongoing regular event for Spoken Views Collective, MONDAY NIGHT POETRY has a zero tolerance policy for the fore mentioned behaviors. Spoken Views Collective additionally designates the evening’s HOST as reserving the right to have any and all individuals breaking these expected codes of conduct (which honor the humanity in each other) removed and denied service. If patterns of behavior are either singularly egregious enough or show a pattern of behavior across multiple venues or events then individuals may be denied access to the Collective altogether in order to maintain our vision as a community entity.

Lavish Pop Up

Posted on February 26, 2022 by SIDEWAYS EIGHT
Last night was so much fun! Thank you @lavish.vaudeville for putting on an amazing pop up show to whet our appetite until your next full length production, and @thelibraryreno for being the host venue. Pictured above is my better half (should I say better whole since we are one) @amandabrittney singing Someone Like You while @lindsay_mckay is poetry in motion. I love this band of singers, dancers, choreographers and friends! ❤️❤️❤️
