Sip & Share Love-Themed Poetry at Newsfeed Cafe

Fortify yourself with a glass of liquid courage, and give a recitation to a crowd of fellow lovers of vino and verse, who’ll be there to cheer you on. Whether you read a poem of your own or one by Christina Rossetti or The Beatles, don’t worry; no one will  judge. Just bring your chosen poem and join in the love and fun!
