100 THOUSAND POETS FOR CHANGE AT THE WORD PARTY
The WordParty is an open collective of poets and friends that started in New York City and made its way to San Francisco. The WordParty hosts a poetry & jazz open mic featuring the Nova Jazz band where poets are welcome to read with the spontaneous accompaniment of the band. Our mission is to provide a space where all the misfits of poetry and jazz — any style or genre — can come together to express themselves — at the WordParty there is always laughter, inspiration, and community.
