Welcome to the Poetic License virtual open mic 5/2/21 with safety in social distancing     The May 2nd 2021 Poetic License open mic in Austin Texas could not be held at its usual Recycled Reads public bookstore because of Covid19/Coronavirus social distancing, so to bring everyone together, host Janet Kuypers started a Facebook event page for this venue. This Poetic License meeting was also shared via a Zoom meeting, while Janet Kuypers also produced live Facebook streams and YouTube videos of her readings. Because of the Zoom meeting, Poetic License goes/went beyond Austin, because anyone is welcome to share at this space for this Zoom meeting with people from around the United States — and around the world.
