Special Poetry Reading with U.S. Poet Laureate, Robert Hass!

Robert Hass served as the U.S. Poet Laureate from 1995-1997, and is one of the most critically acclaimed and celebrated contemporary American poets of our generation. In 2008, he won the Pulitzer Prize for Time and Materials, and it is such an honor to welcome him to Malibu for our Caffeinated Verse series.

Caffeinated Verse Details:

Join local poets for a FREE morning open mic and poetry reading—with caffeine!

Each session will be hosted by Malibu Poet Laureate, Nathan Hassall, and will feature a special guest reading and an opportunity for live Q&A. Following the featured reader, we will end the event with a poetry open mic.

If you’re published, aspiring, or otherwise, please bring a poem to share or come to enjoy the local poetry. Garner encouragement from peers and derive energy from performing before an audience! The "Caffeinated Verse" open mic series will continue on the third Saturday of every month.

OPEN MIC GUIDELINES:

• If you'd like to read at the open mic, please bring one poem so there's enough time for all sign-ups to participate. Thank you!
