About 

Pop-Up Poetry Slam is a vibrant, monthly spoken word competition designed to breathe new life into the poetry slam scene in Seattle. Each event features a high-energy poetry slam competition and a performance by a featured poet, showcasing the voices of poets from diverse communities. The "pop-up" nature of the show allows it to collaborate with various venues, bringing poetry into different neighborhoods across the city and creating thematic showcases that resonate with local communities.
