Welcome to the Poetic License 5/4/25 Global Open Mic now global via Zoom meetings     The May 4th 2025 Poetic License open mic (once in Austin Texas at Recycled Reads public bookstore) is now bringing everyone together as Janet Kuypers hosts a Facebook event page for this venue, which coincides with a Zoom meeting and the welcoming return of Zoom host John F. McMullen (while Janet Kuypers also produced live Facebook streams and YouTube videos of her readings). Because of the Zoom meeting, Poetic License is global — anyone is welcome to share at this space for this Zoom meeting with people from around the United States — and around the world.
