Slamlandia – September

Thu, September 17 from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm PDT

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.

Guest hosted by Camille McDaniel, September’s Slamlandia will also feature poetry from Q (John-Francis) Quiñonez.
