Houston Poetry Spots

As a public service, here is a list of regular poetry events and their venues in our area. Most are open mics, but you’ll need to call the host or venue for exact show times and open mic sign-up times.

If you want your local poetry event listed here, send us an email. We generally list poetry spots that have been running for at least a year.
