At Ó Bhéal’s 65th open-mic, the camera came out for the night as Matthew Sweeney was filming for his new documentary, so we couldn’t let the opportunity pass to capture some of our famous open-micers. Here they are.
Our featured poets for Ó Bhéal's eighth virtual event are Yuyutsu Sharma and Kobus Moolman. The evening includes our usual five word challenge & open-mic session.
