Dallas Poetry Slam

The Dallas Poetry Slam is a non-profit organization that promotes the performance and creation of poetry while cultivating literary activities and spoken word events in order to build audience participation, stimulate creativity, awaken minds, foster education, inspire mentoring, encourage artistic statement and engage the DFW community in the revelry of language.

Poetry Slam is a competition of original poetry judged on content and performance by the audience. "Patrons can expect to be delightfully engaged at an event filled with high energy and passion along with a variety of individual poetic expressions ranging from humor or love to personal intrigue or social challenges," says HBO Def Poet and Dallas Poetry Slam organizer and host, Roderick "Rock Baby" Goudy.
