Lillian here, delighted to host our Open Link Night session today….
and our dVerse LIVE session, Saturday, May 11^th from 10 to 11 AM New York time.

Open Link Night means we invite you to post any one poem of your choosing OR, you may use the optional ekphrastic prompt below.
OPTIONAL PROMPT: The painting below by Frédéric Bazille, titled Black Woman with Peonies is in the public domain. If you choose to be inspired by this painting for your poem today, do be sure to indicate its title and give credit to the artist.

Interested in our LIVE session?
It will be Saturday, May 11^th from 10 to 11 AM New York Time.
These live sessions really show our global reach. For example we recently had a session with folks from countries including the US, Australia, Kenya, Pakistan, the UK, Sweden, and Trinidad Tobago. The link below will take you to our LIVE session, complete with audio and video. Folks read one poem aloud (in English) and are always met with positive reactions. We’re a friendly bunch! You can always close the video option and/or mute your microphone if you’d like to drop by just to watch and listen. The more the merrier!
