6 Dead Poets, 3 Celebrity Judges, 2 Teams, 1 Winner!

Smart Gals Speakeasy Presents:
U.S. vs. THEM: The Axis of Poetry



Bookmark artist: Catherine Beaver

Sunday, April 25th, 2010
7:00 – 9:00pm
Mt Hollywood Underground
4607 Prospect Ave., Los Feliz
Admission: $15.00

A team of anonymously performed, deceased, American poets face off against an international force of expired poets from multiple continents. Can domestic stanzas take the heat of a world-scale battle? Does free verse flow more elegantly in the western world? Can translated texts rival native language?

The answer to these and many other ponderous questions may be found at the 5th Annual Dead Poets Slam, Sunday, April 25th, hosted by Noël Alumit, and featuring Daniel Bess, Lana Buss, Kathleen Coyne, Juli Crockett, Joshua Joy Kamensky, David O’Shea, Imani Tolliver, Steve Tom, Brenda Varda, Vince Waldron & Lori Yeghiayan.

Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Liz Pappademas will open and close this year’s event, and we will fuel your night with freshly brewed coffee from Cafecito Organico and an array of modest comestibles.

Take home a limited edition, commemorative artwork by Catherine Beaver.
