The world just keeps tossing out the crazy on a daily basis. But few things give me hope more than poets and spoken word.
Hope you will join us.
A place to share your talent, your life lessons, and your new ideas. Hope you can join Josh and Kevin
As those of you who come to the Slam on nights Joshua hosts he compiles an 'Exquisite Corpse' poem using the first line of the poems read. If the poets are comfortable he is willing to share that after.
We put out the sign up sheet at 7:30 and start at 8p. Poets, bring 2 original poems for 2 rounds. Judges have scores from 1-10 but all the love goes to the poet. The bravery of reading original work is the star. Bring an open mind and a love for spoken word.
Lindsay is the best host. And all ages are welcome.
We are running out of used books for prizes and would be happy to accept art or books you would like to share with others. Prizes could start to get creative!
Feel free to bring your beverage of choice.
See you soon. Kevin and Josh
