We gather once a month and build something together.
Another month, another room full of words.

Atmospheric April lived up to its name.

Thank you to everyone who came through and filled the room with words, music, and attention. Every month we’re reminded that this space is shaped by the people in it — the performers, the listeners, the first-timers, the regulars.

Our April featured poet was .anansi, who serenaded us with sensual comedic flair, and our featured musicians was NSA Quoi? (), who helped puppeteer comedy and music into the night.

And of course, big up all the open micers who stepped up and shared their work — that’s the heart of The Word Zoo.
