Join us for another amazing poetry slam and open mic!!!

There is a 5 dollar suggested donation for this event but no one is turned away.

We will have a feature from Wayne Henry!

More about Wayne:
Wayne Henry was raised in South Central Los Angeles, exposed to a melting pot of different cultures which allows for him to have a broad canvas for his work. He moved to Dallas TX in 2008 and has become a passionate poet who writes each line to watch it come alive through poetry.

He is dedicated to bringing awareness to issue such as mental health, oppression, depression and concepts of spiritual growth.

A poet, teacher, father and P.O.C enthusiast. Passion with purpose pushes life to new heights.

He is a 3x Dallas Slam Team Member and ranked 5th at 2018 IWPS.

We will be at our venue, Tiny’s Coffee Northeast! This means our show is all-ages! Everyone is welcome. We do not censor our mic except for instances of hate-speech. Please also note that we start a little earlier then at previous venues.

Accessibility info: Tiny’s is on the 6 bus line, which is a frequent service line. It is a quarter mile from the the streetcar line and about a half mile away from the max. The building and stage is wheelchair accessible and most of the seating can be moved to create space for accessibility equipment. The venue serves food and coffee, so it is not scent-free.
