Celebrate Rengay’s 34th Anniversary

The first rengay was written on August 9, 1992, and since then this thematic collaborative poetry form has grown in popularity around the world. Join us on Zoom on August 9, 2026 for a party to celebrate rengay’s 34th anniversary, our fifth annual rengay anniversary gathering. Read in our casual open-mic rengay reading!

This event will not be recorded, and you are free to read previously published or unpublished rengay. If you have questions, please email Michael Dylan Welch at WelchM@aol.com.

Please join us on Zoom (note time zone):

To participate in our open-mic rengay reading, please just log into the meeting and be prepared to read with your partner(s) or with someone else willing to read with you (for any partner not able to attend). Screen-sharing is welcome or be prepared to quickly paste your rengay into the chat if you need someone else to read it with you. We welcome rengay for two, three, or six poets, as well as solo and experimental rengay. The reading will accommodate as many readers as possible, reading at least one rengay. Please join us to celebrate rengay’s 34th anniversary! Party hats optional.

Thanks to Sherry Grant for making the event poster [to come].
