The program provides a special prize for poets that regularly attend and compete in both slams. Current Streak: 1 of 3 Poet: Vegas Next Slam: Thursday 10/7- Mesa Current PRIZE: $20 Beginning September 17th, 2009, each time the Mesa Poetry Slam and The Downtown Poetry Slam are held, each event will add $5.00 to the fund. The poet wins the prize when they win 3 consecutively scheduled slams where each slam has seven or more competitors. The Anthology.org home page has been updates with a new "Two Fists of Slam" Tracker, where you can see the most current tally of Two fists of slam progress, including whether a poet is on their way to winning the prize. In describing the fund, Bob says, “In the 15 years that I have organized poetry in the valley, we have always had the opportunity to provide more tenured poets with an element of higher stakes to drive their performance. The audience definitely responds as well when they know more in on the line- it creates a more exciting show.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2009 Slammie!

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.
