9/1 – 9/15 Rhapsody & Refrain 2024: 30 Columbus Poets

Rhapsody & Refrain 2024: 30 Columbus Poets is a 2 week-long series showcasing the diversity and quality of voices that contribute to a nationally-recognized poetry scene. Covering a vast range of backgrounds and styles, Rhapsody & Refrain is a perfect way to discover and celebrate the homegrown art to be found in every corner of Columbus. Every day of the series features two poets – all poetry veterans – performing original sets of work. Traditionally we run this series the entire month of September, but we thought we’d try the same number of poets in half the time this year.

All shows take place at Streetlight Guild.
All shows start at 8:00 except Sundays at 5:00
All shows are free thanks to a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous.
