venues
specifically venues for poetry readings. but I suppose first I should define venue, since it and venues are used mysteriously in sentences people speak. (you're gonna love it! at least I love definitions that are this simple.) a venue is a place where something happens, especially an organized event like a concert, a conference, or a sports event. It also can be the county or district within which a criminal or civil case must be heard. for this appreciation, I'm going to ignore the second meaning, and specify the organized event as a poetry reading or an open mic. in particular, a place where a poetry reading or an open mic happens that charges no rent. "what?" you may say, but yes, many places (or their owners) charge no rent for poetry readings or for open mics. amazing! generous! thank you! places like Beyond Baroque, like the Avenue 50 Studio in Highland Park, like branches of the Los Angeles Public Library, like the United States Veterans' Artists Alliance in Culver City, like certain restaurants and bars in the greater Los Angeles area. to all of you, thank you.
