This is an open, all ages, free speech zone - just like the poetry slam and open mic it's named for. We welcome ALL poets and poetry lovers to join us in conversations about contemporary poetics, both craft and performance, as well as keeping up with New Mexico's longest running poetry slam and open mic. Please share your thoughts about poetry, performance aesthetics, or a favorite poem you read and while you're at it, keep an eye on our schedule to see who's coming to feature and how to get involved in a reading yourself. This is your community so welcome home ya'll!
