Celebrate love in all its forms – true love, old love, young love, unrequited love, even love gone mad or love gone bad – Thursday, Feb. 10 at 6:30 at The Game Sports Pub ’N Pizza, 235 Oak St. in downtown Brentwood.

All short work – poetry, short story, nonfiction, or any other creative work – is welcome. Attendees are encouraged to bring any work on any subject, their own or that of another writer, as long as it’s neither insulting nor abusive. All are invited, whether performing or simply listening and enjoying. This event is free; however, all are encouraged to support The Game with a purchase of food or drink.

Hosted by Poet Laureate Kati Short and Poet Laureate Emeritus Diane Lando, Open Mic is presented by Brentwood Writes, an adjunct of the Brentwood Art Society and the Brentwood Community Library.
