Spring into some good poetry this April with our Spring Poetry Slam! We are super excited for Poetry month this April and what better way to celebrate? This slam will be in support of the Trident Poetry Collective (TPC), a group of Trident Sunday poetry open mic attendees who self-publish chapbook anthologies. Come talk to the Editor in Chief and learn how to get involved with the TPC! We will be recommending (not requiring) a $4 donation at the door that will go towards the collective's next publication. Donations of $10 or more will be entered into a raffle! There will also be copies of the collective's past books available for purchase. Please use the free RSVP to express your interest in attending the event.
About the slam...
10 lucky contestants will have the opportunity to compete for the title of Spring champion. Doors open at 6:00 with the line starting at 5:30. Entry is open to all so make sure you come support some of Boston's best poets! Read below if you are interested in competing.
For competitors...
To compete, please have 3 Spring themed poems prepared. Each poem can be 3 minutes long, any longer will result in point deductions. Sign ups are first come first serve. The line can form at 5:30pm and the first 10 slammers in the door will get to compete. There will be a cash prize fo $50 for the winner!
