Poetry, community inclusion: an evening at Pinggg...K!

Pinggg...K!! What a lovely evening spent with warm, diverse people, brought together by poetry!

As nerve wrecking as walking into something new is, the event itself was engaging, deep and overall something I would definitely want to experience again. Open mic poetry, comedy, "cake" breaks without cakes, warm coffees or teas, all shared by the lovely Pinggg...K! group.

Cheerful, both light-hearted and deep, the inclusive Pinggg...K! group is full of the positive energy you need on a Tuesday evening. The dynamic of the group is unimaginable and it draws you in from the moment you set foot in the room. 

Not only were their poems captivating and beautifully crafted, but the people were great: unique, friendly and so welcoming. They even encouraged the newcomers to read their own poems and talked to us during the "cake break", making us feel included. 

They gather every last Tuesday of most months at 7:30 pm and encourage other people to join them, so if you're curious, but a bit anxious, you should definitely give it a shot. Sit down and enjoy their art, take in different experiences and get inspired.
