Arts Collaborative Medford presents the third of its new monthly Poetry and Song Open Mic Nights hosted by Medford Poet Laureate Vijaya Sundaram. Poets, dreamers, and songwriters are invited to bring an original poem, story, or song to read or sing. Today’s featured poet will be Julia Lisella, whose latest collection, “Our Lively Kingdom” (Bordighera Press), was named a finalist for the Paterson Poetry Book Prize 2023. Sign up on the ACM website. In January, open mics will return to their second Thursday of the month schedule.
