SCRIBES.
THE APOCALYPSE POET.@scribesonsouth
SCRIBES is a monthly poetry reading at Tattooed Mom’s in Philadelphia, PA. SCRIBES does not tolerate any sort of hatred, racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, zionism, antisemitism, etc. etc. The reading takes place on the last sunday of every month. 6PM doors, 7PM show.
WHAT IS SCRIBES WORLD?
SCRIBES WORLD is a newsletter in poems. Each poem is written by a feature at SCRIBES ON SOUTH or by an organizer of SCRIBES ON SOUTH.
EACH NEWSLETTER will include the information on the month’s SCRIBES event.
THIS IS an introduction. I began the conceptualization of SCRIBES in Winter of 2022. The reading is a reading for the people. A place for first timers & experienced performers. A place for unhinged artists to explode their words. A charismatic space, as Abromovic once said, a space of shared needs, a dialogue in energy.
IT IS extremely important to me that the audience & participants of SCRIBES know that this is a queer space, a space for “outsider” artists, a place dedicated to poetry & poetry only.
IT IS always about the poem at SCRIBES.
THERE ARE three organizers in the SCRIBES fold at current: NDR, founder of SCRIBES, Lindsay Hargrave, First Mate on board & current host, & Cait Hooker, photographer.
Please direct any booking questions to NDR.
THAT BEING said, poets booked for featured performances are most often solicited for performance & asked personally by NDR. It is, however, not unlikely that SCRIBES can find a spot for you if your performance is the right fit.
LOOKING FORWARD there will be a simple, monthly newsletter, including only the fliers for the events & the poems solicited. Rarely will there ever be any other information included in this medium.
LOOK TO @SCRIBESONSOUTH on INSTAGRAM for constant updates, designs, information, memes, other readings etc.
