Trident’s Poetry Open Mic is set up for both readers and listeners: attendees are invited to bring their own work, with an audience described by the event listing as supportive. If you want to read, the sign-up list opens before the mic on Sunday, Feb. 28.
The list opens at 6:30 p.m. in the upstairs cafe; the mic starts at 7 p.m. The event is listed from 7 to 9 p.m. If you hope to read, plan around the list opening, but the listing does not explain how sign-up works or guarantee a slot.

The invitation is to bring and perform your own poetry, not to watch a named roster of booked readers. The listing describes a supportive crowd, but names no performers and provides no running order or reading lengths. You can attend to listen without treating a performance slot as part of your plan.
