vino & verses: vol. 1 is a collection of voices that have passed through the open mic over the past year into a room full of strangers who later become friends. it gathers those moments and gives them a second life on paper.

inside, you’ll find a curated anthology of poetry performed at the night, alongside illustrations created by guests and photographs that capture the atmosphere as it unfolded.

this isn’t a polished publication, but a living document of a community, full of feeling. a small archive of voices, held together by a shared space, a microphone, and a willingness to be heard.

whether you’ve stood at the mic yourself, sat in the audience, or are discovering vino & verses for the first time, this zine invites you in.
