Read your poems and summon the rains!
In partnership with Sky Island Alliance, join us for a Summer Social at Hotel Congress’ Century Room to celebrate and call in the 2026 Monsoon Season in Southern Arizona. Participants can share their own work, or a rain-themed poem that they love. Help us augur a good monsoon season with poetry!
