Kitchen Party: Poetry & Prose Readings

This Wednesday (and every two weeks going forward,) Black Sails Publications will be hosting a poetry open stage at Trident Halifax! Sign-ups at 6:30pm, readings start at 7pm sharp. This eries gives local writers (of all levels) the opportunity to share their original poetry and prose in a casual and collaborative environment.

Readings take place over the course of two rounds, with contributors getting the chance to read twice throughout the evening (numbers depending).

Each reader, per round, is limited to two pieces or five minutes of content (whichever is shorter).

We are excited to share our series with the Halifax community. If you have any questions about the event, or about Black Sails Publications, feel free to check out our Instagram @BlackSailsPublications or email us BlackSailsPublications@gmail.com.

This event is PWYC.

When: Wednesday, February 4th 2026 @ 6:30pm
Where: Trident Booksellers & Cafe, 1256 Hollis St. Halifax
