Poetry Reading
Join Poets at the Bench for a peaceful hour of poetry in a hidden corner of Balboa Park. Readings are free, no sign up sheet, no microphone, no critiques. All poets and listeners are welcome. Readings at the Poetry Bench are open to all poets and is a safe place to share your work. Read your own poems, or poems by a favorite poet. Find a spot on the bench or bring a blanket and sit on our carpet of leaves. Readings are held on the last Sunday of every month, from 2 pm to 3 pm. Location: the poetry bench is on the west side of the Laurel Street Bridge. It's near the intersection of Quince and 6th Avenue, north of the bridge. Balboa Drive and 6th Avenue run parallel to one another. A playground is to the north and Quince is just south of the bench.
