Community Guidelines
This is a sex-positive event.
We welcome poems that explore desire, embodiment, pleasure, intimacy, humor, curiosity, and the many complexities of sexuality. We encourage work that contributes to a sex-positive environment — affirming agency, autonomy, and sexual freedom, even when exploring complexity.
Consent is key.
Consent must be foundational in all work shared. We do not welcome harm-based content.
No discrimination.
We do not welcome poems involving racism, transphobia, homophobia, sexism, or any form of discrimination. No body shaming, no kink shaming.
Content awareness.
We will encourage content awareness and thoughtful framing, so the space remains supportive and aligned with the spirit of the week. If a poem touches on difficult experiences, we ask that it be approached thoughtfully and with care for the audience. Please offer a brief content warning so listeners can make choices about their participation. Attendees will be told to step out if they need to. If something lands harmfully, tell one of the hosts.
Respect for the space.
Readers and audience members share responsibility for maintaining a safe, inclusive, and respectful space. No heckling, harassment, or non-consensual interaction toward readers or attendees.
