Good writers have it, bad writers have it: bad poetry. Join us as we celebrate the act of creation (and hilarity of failure). Help us laugh, groan, and find unlikely inspiration as we remind ourselves that there’s a potential poet inside all of us, and that creativity is a fundamental human need that shouldn’t be repressed (though maybe shouldn’t always be shared)!
Join a litany of poets from across Miami as you compete to bring your very worst in janky rhythms, uncomfortable metaphors, and non-discerning taste in subject matter. We heavily encourage costumes, props, and audience participation as you vie before a panel of super special guest judges for a chance at the title of Miami’s own Bad Poet Laureate.
If you feel inspired (and/or disheartened) to perform at the Bad Poetry Slam, please contact [email protected] with your interest and a brief summary of what/how you intend to perform. Each performer will have three minutes, and performer spots are limited. The deadline for submitting is March 31st.
