The Boston Poetry Slam is pleased to announce the return of the National Poetry Slam to greater Boston. After the unprecedented success of the locally-hosted 2011 National Poetry Slam, our all-star organizational team will bring this outrageously popular week-long festival back to Boston, Cambridge and Somerville.
The event will welcome up to 88 teams of poets from all over the U.S. and Canada starting on Monday, August 12. Competition will begin on Tuesday, August 13 and continue through Saturday, August 17. Click here to purchases passes for the festival.
