About the Event
Poetry Pause is a welcoming, low-pressure way to experience poetry in community.
Each month, we feature two local poets at different points in their writing lives—one seasoned and one emerging—who will share their work, talk with each other about poetry and the creative process, and answer questions from the audience.
This event is designed for everyone, whether you read poetry often or have never attended a poetry reading before. The atmosphere is light, conversational, and approachable, offering a chance to slow down, listen, and connect with poetry in a relaxed (and air conditioned) setting.
Come for the Art Walk, stay for a few poems, and enjoy an evening of creative connection inside one of Omaha’s most beautiful historic spaces.
