Poets & Coffee

Join Us for Coffee & Conversation

Join Gemini Ink’s Executive Artistic Director, Alexandra van de Kamp, for a relaxed and insightful discussion about the current landscape of poetry. Explore what’s happening now in the world of contemporary verse.

We’ll have the coffee ready—just bring a friend and settle in among fellow poetry lovers. Alexandra will share a few of her current favorite poems and spotlight contemporary poets who are making waves both on the page and on the stage.

This is your chance to join the conversation! Share the poems that have moved you and tell us why poetry matters in your life. You’ll leave with a sense of community, a fresh collection of poems to explore, and creative prompts to spark your own writing journey. Whether you’re a seasoned poet or simply curious, everyone is welcome at our poetic gathering.
