CASH PRIZES will be available to the winners in each city. Bring your stories and energy - we can’t wait to see you there! Doors open at 6:30pm CST. The poetry sizzles from 7:00 – 9:00pm. with an open mic and then the competitive individual slam! Sign up at the event. (If you plan to compete in the slam, bring three poems.)
