Slamlandia
Slamlandia is a poetry open mic and slam that meets every month at Literary Arts, on the third Thursday. This mic provides a creative, fun, and welcoming space for all literary communities in Portland. We encourage poets new and old to come share their work. We strive towards a safe space for poets to read their own poetry, witness others, and participate in community.
Hosted by Julia Gaskill. January’s featured poet is Harper Morgan.
Harper Morgan
Harper Morgan is a queer writer, artist, and animal lover born and raised in the PNW. They hold degrees in creative and environmental writing, which they use to be loud about their feelings and the climate crisis. Harper has competed in slams at both the regional and national level, and their poetry team made it to finals at Midwest Mashup in Minneapolis in 2025. Their work has been published online and in print by BarBar, Cathexis Northwest, Pork Belly Press, Milk Press, and other journals. When they're not writing, Harper can be found playing Silksong, listening to Taylor Swift, or talking about whales. They live in Portland with their partners and their furry children.
