Slam Richmond sends a team to Brave New Voices International Youth Poetry Festival/Competition every year paying for everything out of pocket. This year, however, the pockets are empty. We have witnessed our program take youth who came from rough homes, a lot of shame; and on their way in the wrong direction turn completely around and do wonderful things with their lives and work towards bettering others. By donating to our Indiegogo campaign, you assist in the continuity of this program and help five youth poets for yet another year see the world and the necessity of their voices in it. If you are unable to donate, please share and spread the word. We greatly appreciate it.

THIS Saturday, we begin at 4p with a double workshop hosted by Desiree V. Dallagiacomo and Sarah Lawrence professor Jeffrey McDaniel and THEN at 8pm sharp, we begin the grand slam finals to determine which five adults will represent Slam Richmond at the National Poetry Slam this summer in Boston. Everything is FREE but we highly recommend bringing money to buy mercy from the features ‘cause you WILL want to buy their products. Also — come as early as possible if you want a seat. There is usually standing room only on finals night. 

I know this already happened, but HOT DAMN THAT’S MY FACE AND JEFFREY MCDANIEL’S FACE.
