Blood Speaks: Poetry Slam & Open Mic

Come out on the fourth Friday of each month for a night of spoken word! Blood Speak is a free, all-ages poetry slam and open mic hosted by Angelica Miller and JC Mack.

Sign-ups for the open mic and poetry slam are available at 6:30 pm. The open mic starts at 7:00, and the slam starts at 7:30.

This is a free event and no registration is required.

OPEN MIC:

The open mic is open to every genre including music, comedy, and prose.

POETRY SLAM:

Each month, the top slam prize is $100, and second place gets $50.

Each poet in the slam will have three minutes to perform one poem of their own construction. No props, costumes, or musical accompaniment are allowed. Each poem will be scored by our panel of five judges, which will be chosen from the audience. We’ll drop the high and low scores, and add the middle three together.
