Event Details

Poetry for the people, by the people.

A Poetry Slam/Jam is an open mic celebration of poetry—bringing words to life by giving them oxygen and the encouragement of community support.

We’ll kick off at 6:00 PM with a short writing exercise, where you can craft a poem on the spot. Or, bring a piece you’ve been working on! Each participant will have three minutes to read.

Sign up online or at the event. Bring a poem or create one on the spot! Free refreshments provided by Lyons Community Theater + random prize raffles!
