When it comes to literary entertainment, there are different types of events. In most cases, readers are either authors of fiction, non-fiction, short stories, or poets. Some of the best classic poetry readings Los Angeles feature a number of amateur and well known poets. Whereas, there is an annual festival, founded in 1992 in Austin, Texas which provides featured poets from around the world, open-mics, including a midnight until dawn event, slams and workshops.
Classical poetry events are often a bit different from ongoing open mics and slams. For, these events feature poets reading nothing other than classical material. While numerous poets attempt to write in the classical style, it is not an easy task. Whereas, those attending these events know the difference between classical poetry and other styles and are often disappointed when a reading differs from expectation.
Poets of the classical style often hold true to the form. Whereas, there are others whom like to write in a variety of styles from nature and romance to rhyme and erotica. In all cases, if poets can read at an open mic, or perform at a slam, doing so can often provide a great deal of insight and inspiration from other poets. Whereas, reading original works at an open-mic can often be a great way to break into the local poetry scene.
Individuals wishing to host this type of reading need to be sure that the event is held at times which are convenient and accommodating. For, there is always a time which is better for most poets and fans than others. Generally, weekends and weeknights are the most popular time for all types of poetry readings.
Regardless of venue, the host often sets the mood for the event. In some cases, hosts will provide a sign-up sheet and poets will read in succession which depending on the number of poets on the list can be one or several rounds. Whereas, featured readings often take place in bookstores, libraries or museums. While slam poets often prefer to perform at nightclubs, lounges or dive bars as slam performances are often louder and more theatrical than others.
Organization is the key factor in all literary oriented events. One of the most important aspects is that the stage and seating are appropriately placed for the type of event. For example, a professional author reading at a bookstore will most likely want to set up a book display next to the reading, have a podium and several chairs facing the display and podium. Whereas, an open mic poetry reading is often more casual with a stage, microphone and scattered seating.
Hosts can also work with the lighting and sound to make events more enjoyable for poets and others at the venue. For, while focused on poets, there are often other customers at venues. If possible, choosing a theme is a way to keep events active and enjoyable for all participants. Although, there are a number of popular events held on a weekly or bi-weekly basis in different cities which have no specific or set themes.
When providing a theme, poets can also decide whether or not to attend an event based on personal interest. For, themes which relate to life, death, lifestyles politics, romance or social justice can often be uncomfortable for some poets depending on personal experience. While this is the case, most poets tend to be more open-minded than otherwise, as is often shown by the original writings often featured at these events.
