Spooky Slam
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Have an ode to the queer icon that is the Babadook? Have you tried your hand at a poem that'll send shivers down an audience's spine with how creepy it is? Wrote a ghazal about how much you despise candy corn? Have a poem where your mental illness is personified as a werewolf? Love all things Halloween and wish the holiday season could be a bit more poetic???
Experiment PDX is excited to announce the first fundraiser for the 2023/24 season – the Halloween Poetry Slam.
This poetry event is a space for poets to bring their spookiest poetry. Any poems with horror themes or touches on topics surrounding Halloween are welcome. Or, if you dare, come decked out in a costume, and you can share a poem from the POV of who you're dressed as.
This is a fundraiser for the Bigfoot Poetry Festival. The Halloween Slam is open to all ages.
