FLORENCE-Get ready for a night of poetry at our Florence Art & Museums’ Open Mic Night, happening on Tuesday, July 28th, 6:30 pm at Southall at KD, 209 E. Tuscaloosa St., Florence. The event will feature original poetry by Auburn Shukla. Afterwards, the floor will be opened to other poets to recite their poems. The optional writing prompt for July is: Being American.
Shukla is a poet based in Alabama. Her debut poetry collection explores the journey out of dogmatic religion and politics and into a life focused on human connection, reason, and healing. Auburn enjoys spending time with her family, working with animals, especially dogs and horses, skiing in Montana, and listening to alternative hip hop. She describes Uncovered as the universal part of the human experience.
Open Mic is held the last Tuesday of the month. Poets in our community are invited to come listen and share their original works that explore specific themes. This program is free and is sponsored by Florence Arts & Museums.
