Dead or Alive Slam

Join us for a very special poetry event at Studio Channel Islands Art Center!

The Dead or Alive Slam is a team poetry slam of otherworldly proportions. Three living poets will compete against three famous dead poets (possessing the physical bodies of local performers) in a slam setting. Have the dead stood the test of time, or will they be further buried by their animate adversaries? This showcase of poetic talent across the centuries will give a glimpse of the varied voices and styles in American poetry history.

Full line-up of performers to be announced shortly!

Note: This event is not a standard Poetry in the Gallery and will not include an open mic.
