Come get spooky at our TRICK OR TREAT SLAM, where every round starts with a trick and ends with a treat! Each head-to-head round will have THREE WAYS to win extra points toward a sweet prize: wear a costume, do a poem that relates to your costume, AND complete the round’s “trick” (a challenge to incorporate into your poem)! You only need to bring one poem to compete! DM us or line up early if you would like to sign up!
NOTE: this slam does NOT qualify poets for team selection, it is for a silly goofy time!
