Join us for a special evening of poetry, prose, and music at BNA Burger in collaboration with the Re-Sounding Poetries institute hosted at UBCO! With poets, scholars, artists, and musicians attending the sound institute from across Canada, this event will be one you do not want to miss. Join us to share your writing or music and hear the creative makings of others.

Entry is a $6-$10 sliding scale, and $5 for members.

Doors are at 6:30 pm, and sign up begins promptly at 6:30 pm with our hosts. We have 14 open mic spots, so bring your stories, poems, and music! Spots are first come, first served. Both food and drink will be available from BNA, with catered dinner provided for paid registrants from the SpokenWeb Sound Institute only.
