Today’s Phoenix Poetry Slam from Lawn Gnome Publishing is the result of years of seeking talented new voices and promoting strong literary events.
Lawn Gnome Publishing brought the 2014 Individual World Poetry Slam to Phoenix, AZ. It was the first time a Poetry Slam Inc event has been held in Arizona since the performance art was established in the 90’s. Our mission is to provide a space for local writers/artists/performers/etc. to explore and perfect their own craft. Our commitment is community. We welcome persons of any and all genders, sexuality, ethnicity, ability, ages, etc. As writers and literary critics, we value freedom of speech and thus do not limit, moderate or otherwise censor any content, and so there is a blanket trigger warning for all events. However, we strive to create a constructive atmosphere of equality, sensitivity, and progress, one that encourages discussion and actively opposes marginalization of any persons or group. Our goal isn’t tolerance of diversity, but its empowerment and alliance.
This event is all-ages, but be aware there may be adult themes and language as this is an uncensored event.
ACCESSIBILITY: Those that want to make accessibility arrangements are advised to call a few days before the event at 602.721.9175 so we can make our best effort to accommodate your needs.
Our venue is Lawn Gnome Publishing, a bookstore located at 912 N 5th St in the historic downtown Phoenix neighborhood, Roosevelt Row.
