Twenty spots available for poets. To sign up, email jazmin@crosstownarts.org.

The guidelines:
Subject matter can pertain to anything.
Performers must be 13 and up.
Each performance has a 3-minute limit.
Individual and group sign-ups are welcome. One group counts as one sign-up.
This event is not a competitive slam, simply an open mic.
