About Us
The Lethal Poetry slam team is comprised of four poets who competed in a "grand slam" in early May to win our spot on the team. Two coaches are offering on-going expertise and guidance to help the team not only win big on the national stage but also to meet our own personal career goals in the process. Along the way, the team will continue to work with outside professional poets for additional support and training.
This year's National Poetry Slam will take place from August 10th thru August 15th in Oakland, California. Between now and August, the team's working hard creating exceptional solo (indy) and group pieces. This endeavor entails ongoing rehearsals, performances, and personal and group writing, while also fundraising and promoting for our team. The team prides itself on its representation of Chicago! We come from the north, south, near-northwest, and way, way west (okay, Lombard) sides! Besides being poets, we are family people, friend people, teachers, pastors, personal trainers, and artists! |
