Poetry events in Las Vegas

Roses are red, violets are blue, if you’re into poetry, these events are for you!

Please ignore my novice poetry attempt above,  I’ve always been able to rhyme, but a poet, I am not.  Poetry can be many things, a heartfelt tribute to your loved one or simply a form of self expression.  Here are some upcoming events in the Las Vegas poetry community that just might spark your creativity.

All poetry events around town have been cancelled until further notice.  We make every effort to make sure everything on Vegas Living on the Cheap is 100% accurate.  Stay tuned for any updates regarding events and promotions around the city as we begin to reopen.  Please bear with us as we navigate this new territory and strive to give you the most relevant information.
