Slamlandia
Slamlandia is a poetry open mic and slam that meets every month, 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.
Slamlandia is hosted by Julia Gaskill. The featured poet for October is Bella.
Bella
Bella is a writer, performer, model, and published author from Portland, OR. She was the 2019 Portland Poetry Slam Grand Slam Champ, and in 2023 her team (Team TBD) took first at the second ever Bigfoot Poetry Festival. Her debut collection, Side Effects of Remembering the Little Things, came out in 2019, and her second book, Good Bones, was released in 2023. She served as artist in residence at Paper Epiphanies in 2023. Through her poetry, Bella hopes to create connection, conversation, and understanding so we all feel a little less alone.
