📦 UPDATED Discord Link!

How embarrassing! The link in the email I sent yesterday didn’t work. Here’s one that’s tried and tested:

Poet's Day In

Check out the Poet's Day In community on Discord - hang out with 3 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

Please do respond back if you have any issues with the new link. I’ve also updated the links below throughout this email.


We are moving our monthly poetry reading to Discord (updated link)! Discord gives our little community features that will be very helpful for all:

  • Free video calls on Discord are not time-limited. Our free Zoom calls were capped at 40 minutes in length. Feel free to join Discord calls early to say hi to other poets, or stay late!

  • If our community members would like to share upcoming events or submissions to literary journals, there is an ongoing chat for that.

Join the Poets Day In community today with this updated link!

A screenshot of the Discord app on macOS, with several callouts. The #ask-for-help text channel is a great place to ask for help. If Ben isn't available perhaps someone else can help too. The #announcements channel: Do you have a book coming out? Something else going on? Tell everyone here! The #upcoming-events channel: Is there a poetry reading soon? This is a great place to announce that! In the Voice Channels, the Open Mike channel is where we'll meet 10:30AM Pacific every Third Saturday. This graphic also highlights the mute/unmute button, the deafen button, and the Settings button. Under Settings I recommend you go to Voice & Video to adjust for the call.

For anyone that would like to test their connection, I will be holding an open office hour at 10:30am Pacific this Friday in the Open Mike voice channel in Discord, and will stay online till at least 11am. Otherwise, you can post questions in the #ask-for-help Information channel anytime, and I will get back to you.


Our next open mike will be Saturday 9/21 at 10:30am

In two weeks, our regular open mike will occur. If you're interested in being part of it, please sign up for a time on this Google document. I’ll send another invite next weekend, per usual.

Hope to see you in Discord!
Ben.
