The Seattle Grand Slam!

By poetrynight | Published: April 14, 2011

Daemond Arrindell, Slam Master of the Seattle Slam and darling of Poetrynight just sent us a reminder!

The Seattle Poetry Slam will hold its annual Grand Slam competition at Town Hall on Friday, May 6th at 7:30 pm.  This is an all ages event. The Grand Slam is the final throwdown of the top eight poets in Seattle for spots on the 2011 Seattle National Poetry Slam Team. The Grand Slam will feature National Poetry Slam Champion Ken Arkind.

Featured Poet Ken Arkind is a National Poetry Slam Champion, Nuyorican Poets Cafe Grand Slam Champion and full time touring artist who has performed his work in almost all of the Lower 48, Hawaii and Canada. With Panama Soweto he is one half of The Dynamic Duo, the nation’s most highly booked Spoken Word act.

So kind of a big deal.
