Immune compromised? Feeling under the weather and don't want to risk getting someone else sick? Broke as hell this month and need a by-donation option? Have out-of-town friends who wish they could attend the festival?

@arcpoetry.bsky.social showcase is kicking off.

If you're not at Black Box Studio with us, you can watch it live at versefest.ca
