The Lit Slam: Page Meets Stage Poetry | SF
Please Note: The Lit Slam is currently on hiatus. We’ll update this page with new events when it returns.
The Lit Slam is a monthly, live performance-based poetry anthology that tries to find the best art at the intersection of page and stage, mixing local and national touring poets.
Every third Monday, it’s a poetry competition with a twist. Editors are chosen at random from the audience before each show, and those editors decide which poets and poems will appear in Tandem, the annual publication created over the course of the season.
On March 18, 2013 The Lit Slam features Saeed Jones, author of “When the Only Light is Fire.”
Saeed is the editor of BuzzFeed LGBT. His work has appeared in Guernica, Ebony Magazine, The Rumpus, Hayden’s Ferry Review and West Branch among other publications. He received his MFA in Creative Writing at Rutgers University – Newark. His chapbook When the Only Light is Fire is available from Sibling Rivalry Press. He is the recipient of fellowships from Queer / Arts / Mentors and Cave Canem and several Pushcart Prize nominations.
