Writers' Block Poetry Night

Columbus's most diverse, irreverant and nationally lauded night of poetry!

We put the fun back in poetry and have been doing so for over 8 years.
It's the unique poetry, the wacky MCs, the interactive nature of the mic. Veteran poets of our reading have published over 20 volumes of poetry and audio material, done national tours and been featured on National Public Radio (NPR) multiple times.

We're the home of countless open mic poets, run a merchandise table for poets who read each week and we feature poets from all over the country when they're in the area.  We're also the "locker room" for Columbus's nationally-lauded National Poetry Slam team as well as the Midwest Poetry Slam League team (The Columbus Thunderpants). We hosted the annual Rust Belt Regional Poetry competition for two years straight.
