More about Catherine:
Catherine Weiss (she/they) is a poet and artist from Maine. Her poetry has been published or is forthcoming in Tinderbox, Up the Staircase, Fugue, Okay Donkey, perhappened, Bodega, Counterclock, Hobart After Dark, and Flypaper Lit. They were the 2017 Grand Slam Champion and the 2018 WOWPS rep of Northampton Poetry. Their debut full-length collection will be published by Game Over Books in 2021. You can find Catherine at most any New England agricultural fair — she’s the one admiring the blue ribbon hog, covered in powdered sugar and doughboy grease, and flirting with full-blown heatstroke — or you can check out http://catherineweiss.com.
We are working in a virtual space and plan to keep doing that until Dr. Fauci says it’s okay to do live shows again. Please let us know if you need anything from us to make the online open mic work for you. You can email us at portlandpoetryslam@gmail.com.
