Poems Not Prisons is a monthly open mic and poetry event in Philadelphia, PA hosted by anarchists and anti-authoritarians who are prison abolitionists. It is a place where words meet action, where we attempt to use the art of poetry to create a space to discuss the ways that prisons and the prison system have taken a hold of our culture and our people. Each month we feature a different poet, as well as opening up the floor for other experienced poets or those brand new to reading in public. We use the time to celebrate conscious art, do political education, encourage networking between local criminal justice activists and raise funds for prison related issues, from trying to fund individual prisoners to raising money for wider-ranging organizations
