Poetry Slam in Springfield, MO. Every FIRST Sunday of the month! In a rotation of three rounds, poets have three minutes to present one original poem per round.
The "Show Me Poetry" Poetry Slam is an opportunity for poets to compete and share their original poetry, and for the audience to experience the community at work. This slam encourages the audience to take part in the show as well, either as one of the five volunteer judges, or by simply cheering on the poets and booing the scores they feel were too low. This is a beautiful night that will change how you see the world. Come out and join us!

Poets' Corner Proudly Presents: "It Doesn't Have to be Good" a Poetry Workshop hosted by Mar the Ghost.
Our very own Mar the Ghost is hosting a Poetry Workshop THIS MONTH!!! Based on the idea that you only get better by starting somewhere, Mar will guide those in the workshop through not only that first hurdle of beginning, but all the hurdles after, leaving you with something to be proud of.
This Workshop is for all ages and all skill levels. This Workshop is not for reworking old poems, or bringing something to work on, but instead focused on making something entirely new.
Does all this sound like something you're interested in? Sign up through the QR Code OR the link below!
We're so excited to see y'all there!
