What is a Poetry JAM??

Whereas a poetry slam is a competitive art event in which poets perform spoken word poetry before a live audience and a panel of judges, a poetry JAM doesn’t necessarily have the competitive aspect (ours will not). We welcome all poets and spoken word artists age 16 and up, whether you’ve done this before or not!
