 Starr of the Charlotte Slam. Hosted by Moody Black. Starr recently represented the Respect the Mic Charlotte Slam at the National Poetry Slam and has been a finalist at the World Poetry Slam. Her resonate voice takes listeners on journey of the soul.
Things get underway at 7:30pm. Coffee Underground is located at 1 East Coffee Street in Greenville. Simply put, poetry slam is the competitive art of performance poetry. It puts a dual emphasis on writing and performance, encouraging poets to focus on what they're saying and how they're saying it. A poetry slam is an event in which poets perform their work and are judged by members of the audience. Wits End Poetry is working to make poetry as familiar to people in Upstate, SC as it is to people in New York, LA, and Chicago. The power of poetry lies in its appeal and relevance to diverse audiences. Poetry also encourages and develops literacy and creativity in both adults and youth.
