THANK YOU to everyone who came out tonight! 🌹We were a tad nervous, but your energy and your enthusiasm helped everything go wonderfully. Slam is an art that depends so much on the atmosphere, so you all made tonight what it is. CONGRATULATIONS to our qualifiers Kareem, Maryam, and Erika! We'll follow up on that ASAP. We hope to see/hear your beautiful faces and beautiful voices at our next event!!!

P.S. Please excuse Kai's parents--they were being extra to celebrate her belated birthday 🙈

Hello Amazing Folk. We forgot to mention that there's a $2 entrance fee to the slam (the University makes us do it, that was definitely not our decision). And never fear -- we take Venmo. Can't wait to see you and hear your words tomorrow!!

*Cool New Thing Alert!!*

We'll be posting a poetry video every Friday! Since we're poets and Very Creative People, we decided to call it "Poem of the Week!"

Feel free to submit your favorite poems to the page (or maybe a video of you reading a poem???!!!!!) via Messenger and we'll consider it for that week's poem!

(Chosen because an e-board member does her grocery shopping to relax on Friday evenings.)
