Well, folks, it’s a bittersweet moment for the Lowercase Poetry crew as they announce a well-deserved break after nine years of running their loved monthly poetry events.
This March marks nearly a decade of fostering creativity, celebrating under-the-radar poetic voices, and connecting poets with their community. After much thought, the team has decided it’s time to press pause and take a breather.

The trio; Annie, Josh and Yas, took to instagram yesterday to share the news.
“We are so proud to have fostered creativity in this town of ours, and encourage poetic voices that aren’t usually shared to be celebrated. How amazing it has been!
“Thank you to everyone who has ever attended lowercase as it’s shifted over multiple venues, grown and changed and become a staple social event for many poets and poetry appreciators.
“We are looking forward to taking some more time to focus on our own writing, rest and reevaluate. We couldn’t have built this community without the help and attendance of all of you, so thank you once again!”
Over the years, lowercasepoetry has become a staple for many poets and poetry lovers. From intimate local nights to some shifts in venue and style, it’s been a space where raw, creative voices were celebrated. But now, it’s time to reflect and rest, leaving behind a legacy of poetry and friendships.
But don’t fret, it’s not quite a final goodbye. “It’s a see ya later,” they say. You can still catch the crew for one last hurrah TONIGHT—so don’t miss out! And keep an eye on the socials, because who knows what might pop up in the future!
So, big love and gratitude from the lowercasepoetry team. And remember, it’s not goodbye, it’s just for now.
