NYPL Ottendorfer Library / National Writers Union — Open Mic Series

A ticketing site's dated listing shows this poetry open mic ran Apr 18, 2026, confirming day, time, and that it is current [s1]. The National Writers Union's own website separately confirms the series is real and ongoing from its side, as co-organizer [s2]. The venue's own pages disagree on sign-up capacity, one saying 25 names taken and another saying 15 guaranteed spots, and that conflict is left unresolved.
