Slamlandia – July
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.
Slamlandia is hosted by Julia Gaskill. The featured poet for July is Charlie Evans.
Charlie Evans
Charlie Evans (he/they) is engaged in an eternal battle with a six foot rainbow snake that lives in his pants. But when he's not doing that, he writes poetry. His first chapbook, “Gay Sex” traces his journey from sexual abuse to queer liberation and was released by Sibling Rivalry Press this June. He grew up in rural New Jersey, graduated from Virginia Tech and spent two summers thru-hiking the east and west coast. He currently lives in Bellingham, Washington.
