Take The Challenge And Get Results

You probably know poetry slam is competitive performance poetry, but we’re about more than competition. Poetry slam challenges new and veteran poets alike to hone their writing skills. If you think you could slam, but you’re not sure, we organize poetry slam workshops to show you how. And we don’t just encourage our participating poets to be hard core verbal competitors, either, since we’re also active in the community, holding classes and performing in local schools to exemplify to youth that it’s cool to be a writer, to be articulate, and to be a poet. Houston Poetry Slam is committed to helping further the development and growth of our modern local poetry community

We also provide an incredibly unique form of entertainment for audiences wanting to enjoy something more than the usual “poetry reading”. So this is your chance to develop a fan base, and maybe one day have people to sell your books or cd’s of poetry to.

Think you have what it takes to be a slammer or to make the Houston Slam Team? Are you looking to have some intelligent fun? Then come out and share your words at a Houston Poetry Slam event!
