FreeSlamlandia is at Literary Arts this Thursday, January 10th! We will have a special feature from the phenomenal Laura Houlberg.
Laura Houlberg ( @lo__lands ) is a Portland writer & filmmaker who sharpened their teeth in Los Angeles. She has competed twice at the College Union Poetry Slam Invitational and has won the Portland Poetry Slam three times. Their poetry has appeared in Michelle Tea’s Radar Productions: GLOW Queer Poetry Feature, Big Big Wednesday, SUSAN the Journal, and archived on Oregon Poetic Voices. Her films have premiered on Ones to Watch, Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival, and the Reel Music Festival. She is usually dancing in front of the PhotoBooth app like it’s 2008.

Slamlandia is a poetry open mic and slam that meets on the second Thursday of each month. 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 safer space for poets to read their own poetry, witness others, and participate in the community.
