MindWell's Grand Damn Slam 2019

  • The (B) Ruppe 807 4th Street Southwest Albuquerque, NM, 87102 United States (map)

For the last year, poets have been competing at MindWell, sharing their art and their hearts, but now it's time to decide who will represent the community on the national stage as part of the 2020 MindWell slam team!

The 12 top ranked poets from the community will compete in a 3 round poetry competition, and the top 5 will become the new team - but we need your help to make this happen!

On top of that - the winner of the slam will be crowned City Champion AND will have a collection of their work published by Swimming with Elephants publications!

Come out and join us in celebrating the artistry, performance and precision of these poets who have worked all year to earn a spot on this stage as they compete together. At MindWell, it is always about the community and we are proud of all of these poets, so we need you, the audience to help us decide!

Poets who make the team will go on to compete at national level competition around the nation in 2020.

Come for the poetry, stay for the community, because together we are Stronger Than Stigma!
