In the tradition of Arizona performance poetry, Anthology, the state's longest running performance poetry nonprofit presents the next great Mesa poetry tradition.
Poetry Slam is a competition, where poets perform their work to be judged by the audience based on the presentation and content. The Anthology Poetry Slam has three rounds, and in each round the poets perform in random order, with a 3 minute time limit for each performance.
It's a no holds barred verbal duel that brings out the best in each writer and performer.
125 W Main
Mesa, AZ
(480) 964-1609

From The Board

From Board member Bernard:
People - the kids need $2,000 in order to go and compete in Chicago, and folks, for anyone to collect that kind of scratch in these hard times in difficult for anyone... And these are kids from the Phoenix Union High School district, which isn't exactly starting from a default position of "money".
Some of the team I met last year at Poetry Central, and I saw them all perform in Flagstaff, where they kicked ass - dropping some of the best work of the night.
So, head on out and see this next generation of Arizona poetry get ready to kick ass and take names.

About AZPoetrypedia:
I just wanted to share the tremendous rescource that we have growing online called AZPoetryPedia.com. It is, as the name implies, an encyclopedia of poetry related information that is specific to Arizona. People, places, events, event poetic forms and styles. You name it.
The best part, is that it is built, edited and maintained by you, the community of Arizona poets. If you search for a poet and they don't have a page, you can make a new one for them. Look up some information that is wrong or not complete? You can complete or change it.
