Unsung Poetry is a semi-regular poetry series held in the Byte Cafe located on the 2nd floor of the Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons. As part of the Student Resource Network and Reigniting the Strategic Directions the mission of Unsung Poetry is to bring people together through poetry, and bridge the gap between the Seattle literary arts community and the Seattle University campus community. 

Each event in the series will feature readings by poets from the Seattle literary community and beyond, who will share some of their own work and also the work of a lesser known “unsung poet.” The goal is to amplify marginalized voices; writers and artists who have been overlooked, forgotten, and in some cases, even suppressed.

Immediately following the featured readers, we invite members of the SU community to share their own creative work during the open mic. This is open to any SU student currently enrolled or any staff or faculty currently employed by the university.
