Sonnets for Loverbois: Third Time's the Charm, A Queer Poetry Open Mic

Dearest Gentle Readers,

Third time’s the charm! It is with great excitement and an abundance of queer love that we invite you again to a most splendid gathering of poetic brilliance and heartfelt expression. On the evening of Friday, February 28, 2025, we shall be hosting Sonnets for Loverbois Volume 3: A Queer Poetry Open Mic.

Voices shall rise in verse—whether you are a seasoned poet or a tender soul wishing to share the musings of your heart, this soirée is a welcoming embrace for all who have ever experienced queer love. Come forth, dear friends, and let the art of spoken word dance through the air, filling the room with gayness—in both senses of the word.

We entreat you to join us at Isenberg Projects as the night unfolds in a celebration of queerness, creativity, and camaraderie. All are invited to listen, to perform, and to bask in the radiant diversity of the human spirit. We are especially grateful to Boston Art Review and Isenberg Projects for their patronage of this annual Valentine’s Day themed event, which will close out this chilly month with warmth and abundance.

Yours most warmly,

Jasper A. Sanchez & Julissa Emile (your humble hosts of revelry and verse)

P.S. Kindly bring your most dazzling self, for the evening promises to be one of revelatory poetry and unbridled joy!

Community Guidelines:

• Reading is open to all on a sign-up, first-come basis. BIPOC voices, or those of folks from groups that have been historically marginalized and underrepresented, will be uplifted and at the forefront.
• You don’t have to read! Guests, dates, secret crushes, polycules, and more are encouraged to attend.
• This space is LGBTQ friendly. Love knows no bounds…unless you’re into that. (No kink-shaming!)
• Marginalizing and oppressive language is not ok. This means any language that is racist, transphobic, homophobic, sexist, ableist (including language that stigmatizes those navigating mental illness), sizeist, ageist, classist, victim-blaming or slut-shaming that is directed toward a specific person or group is unacceptable.
• Although masking is not mandatory, we ask that folks be considerate of our community’s health and those who are immunocompromised. We encourage wearing a mask when not actively on the mic, eating, or drinking. If you are feeling ill, do not attend!
• Respect the mic & respect the space. Readers are asked to take no longer than 3–5 minutes on the mic to ensure others have time to read, and all are expected to be supportive of one another during readings. The crowd creates the vibe!
