Monthly Meetups

Wax poetic open mics

THIRD THURSDAYS @ 6:30 p.m.

Every third Thursday we’ll be co-hosting a poetry open mic at the coolest record shop in town, The Records Department. Join us over at their spot in the Old Courthouse at 101 N Johnson St in Woodstock for some fine poetry shenanigans. Sign up at the door to read your stuff or just hang out and soak in the poetry.

yoga and poetry and invisible fisH

MAY 26th, 1:30-3:00 p.m. @ THE YOGA LOUNGE

Join the Atrocious Poets and yoga instructor/author Kelly Jensen as we explore the concept of connection via poetry and yoga—and, yes, invisible fish. (You’ve got to come to the event to find out how they factor in.) Through a yin yoga session interspersed with short writing exercises, we’ll investigate the ways that poetry and language affect the body and our community. (And vice versa.) Details and tickets on eventbrite.

Saturdays at the mall

Saturdays from 12 to 2 we’ll be hanging out at our office in the Woodstock Square Mall. Drop by to do a writing exercise, check out our vending machine, or just say hi. (Schedules change quicker than this website. So check our Instagram for updated info.)

We have a threadless shop

Get our weird aesthetic and random thoughts on t-shirts, mugs, and more. Your purchases help us do more weird poetry projects. Find the shop at atrociouspoets.threadless.com.
