Untitled Open Mic

It is with deep sadness that we are reaching out to share with you all news of the passing of our dear friend and cofounder of the Lowell Poetry Wheel, Dr. Douglas Bishop.

Douglas passed away on October 25, 2024. He is survived by a wife, family and community who will all grieve his passing and the many moments that could have been.

But in his physical absence, his spirit, personality, and legacy remain to guide us and we will continue to honor his memory by maintaining the bonds of community and artistic pedagogy he forged for, in and with us.

It is for this reason that we will forgo our November 6th Untitled Open Mic event and instead reconvene on November 20th. We believe it is important to give each other time to grieve, reflect and process, before coming together as a community to share in Douglas’ memory.

If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out to [email protected]

Thank you,
Rikhav and Ricky
Co Organizers, Lowell Poetry Wheel
