For those who are unfamiliar with the series, we in the Philosophy Department host an informal open-mic night: people sign up for slots during which they can read their own poetry or any other poetry that they really enjoy (or, really, anything creative). The basic idea is to get together to affirm our collective humanity through worship of the expressive possibilities of the English language.

You are cordially invited to the post-winter-break session of the Emerson Hall Poetry Night, on Thursday, February 5 at 7:30 PM. As always, it will be in our beloved Robbins Library, on the second floor of Emerson Hall.
As before: come to read or just to listen; come with a significant other or a friend, etc.; come to drink wine and eat too much cheese after dinner without the usual social stigma. Also, please forward this to anyone who might be interested, regardless of which department they're affiliated with. See you all there!
Please join us for our regular reminder-and-celebration-of-our-humanity at the Emerson Hall Poetry Night!
If you're a newcomer, the basic idea is this: people sign up for ten-minute slots during which they can read their own poetry or any other poetry that they really like (or really, anything creative that has poetic qualities).
So, come to read or just to listen! And bring your significant other, friend, family members, etc. People from all departments are welcome. There will be drinks and snacks, good poetry and excellent company. We hope to see you there!
