Roaring Rhetoric is a Quad City-based open mic showcase for spoken word poetry and other community arts. Founded in 2014, it provides a consistent space for poets, spoken word artists, and writers to perform and connect with an audience knowledgeable about the art form. The event aims to foster a supportive environment for authentic self-expression, welcoming both seasoned performers and newcomers to share their narratives and art. Roaring Rhetoric has partnered with venues like Ross's Bar & Grill and Skylark QC to host its events, contributing to the local arts scene.
