Last summer we were introduced to the world of performance poetry (aka slam) by D.C.-area poet Cheryl Crockett. She's known around town as the host of Poet-a-tete, a combined reading/workshop/slam session that's held twice monthly. (We even took a super-quick turn at the mike.)
So we know that:
Poet-a-tete is fun.
It's a terrific place to try out new material. We've seen writers grow and grow and then some, and we've enjoyed meeting new people, listening to the featured poets (as well as all the writers who read during the open-mike time), sharing ideas, laughing, getting insight into the hearts and minds of others, and most of all, being moved to create.
And guess what? It's 100% free!
It all happens on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month, in Arlington, VA and Rockville, MD respectively.
See Poet-a-tete for more details.
Please tell Cheryl that you read about it here (and say hi from us, too). You might even coax her into performing her signature piece, "Standard English."
