Join us live at BRIC House for the Brooklyn Poetry Slam, an exhilarating evening of poetry and community led by co-founders Mahogany L. Browne and Jive Poetic! Mark your calendars now, and join special guests and poets from all over the city and beyond. This month’s featured poet will be announced soon.

Don’t miss the chance to speak out and be heard! NEW SIGN UP GUIDELINES: Sign ups for the slam and open mic begin at 6:30pm. The slam competition has 5 slots and the open mic has 7 slots. Names will be chosen at random. You may sign up for both, but only participate in one.

We are unable to allow patrons to save seats for other guests. Upon reaching capacity in the ballroom, we will invite audience members to watch a stream of the event on the stoop.
