Welcome to the Brooklyn Poetry Slam, an ongoing series amplifying poetry in the Brooklyn community for over a decade! Led by the remarkable co-founders Mahogany L. Browne and Jive Poetic, join our vibrant community to share and enjoy poetry.

Each Brooklyn Poetry Slam centers on a slam competition and ends with an open mic that participants can sign up for in-person. Check out upcoming dates and RSVP below.

HOW THE SLAM GOES DOWN: 

  • Brooklyn Poetry Slam is a two round performance poetry competition.
  • Poets are given three minutes to read their own original work.
  • The top poets from the first round will advance to the second round.
  • Competitors are prohibited from using animal acts, props, or musical accompaniment.
  • Five random judges from the audience score each round on a scale of 0-10. The poet with the highest cumulative score is the winner.
