Lizard Lounge Poetry Jam

So I missed a nail bitter last sunday?! It sounds like we once again have the makings of some amazing poetry in the weeks to come. I cant wait and expect everyone to bring all the fire and passion poetically possible to the great lizard stage. Try something new, dare to step outside the mold you’ve so comfortably cast yourself in. This is a season of growth. This is an opportunity to compete with ourselves. No score shall limit you, no gender, no sexual orientation, nor color, nor attire. I challenge you all to stop spitting for the crowd, stop pimping the news, the war, and Katrina, and freely leave yourself on that stage, naked and exposed and allow us all to touch

Mwalim was the featured poet yesterday and he was great! A great musician, singer, storyteller and poet! It had been 6 years since he had featured at the Lizard and it was good to have him back. He knows what he is doing and shared his many talents with us last night! Thanks Mwalim, good to have you back and we will do it again!

Cole won the slam yesterday by one tenth of a point over Iyeoka! Very good slam were people are coming down early to get on the list and to see and judge the slam! Three more slams and then we are in the semi-finals!!
