Readings at Calliope
Readings are held approximately monthly, from late September to early June (except December) on Sunday afternoons. See below for the exact schedule. The readings are held at the West Falmouth Library in West Falmouth, Massachusetts (for map and directions, see below).
Readings, which feature an ever-changing array of well-known poets followed by an inclusive open mike (no open mike in January), run from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, have a $5.00 requested donation (which helps cover the stipend for the three featured readers), and are followed by a reception, including refreshments and an opportunity to meet and talk with the readers, buy their books and have them signed. For the readings that include an open mike, the sign-up period begins at 2:45 PM.
