Open poetry readings Nov 6!
Starting next Monday, November 6, The Café Review is back doing once-a-month open poetry readings every first Monday of the month in the Portland, Maine Old Port at Henrys (https://www.henrysoldport.com/). Join us this Monday 7pm for live poetry and music.
Fun fact: our name, The Café Review, comes from our humble beginnings doing open poetry readings at the Café No. The original printed publication was made monthly and contained the poems read at the previous monthly open readings.
