Welcome to the Poetic License 6/1/25 Global Open Mic now global via Zoom meetings     The June 1th 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.
