Welcome to the Poetic License open mic 5/3/20 home edition for safety in the social distancing     The May 3rd 2020 Poetic License open mic in Austin Texas could not be held at its usual Recycled Reads public bookstore because of the social distancing mandate due to the Covid19/ Coronavirus outbreak, so to bring everyone together, host Janet Kuypers started a Facebook event page for this venue, and at the usual start time (3:30 PM CST May 3rd 2020) it became public for anyone to post poetry, prose, or music via text, audio files or video uploads. This Facebook event page also expands Poetic License beyond Austin, because anyone is welcome to share at this space. Janet Kuypers started the time with one live Facebook video feed after another... the book she had slated to read from included “Seasons”, “Imagination”, “the 2020 Poetry Review Date Book”, “the 2020 flash fiction date book”, “Burning Bridges”, and “Legacy”.     Did she get to them all? See the video links below to find all of the books she read from in the Poetic License open mic 5/3/20 home edition, and also come here for BONUS videos of readings of May events poems ON the event dates from the Janet Kuypers poetry book “Every Event of the Year (Volume one: January-June)” at the bottom of the page!
