This event will take place on Saturday, May 31st, 5:30 – 8:30 PM.
KMAC Poetry Slams are one of Louisville’s premiere slam poetry events. Taking place on the last Saturday of each month (unless otherwise noted), the Slam is a competition amongst local poets and juried by audience members.
This event is made possible by the Lance Newman, a.k.a Mr. SpreadLove, and Young Poets of Louisville.

Poems must be no longer than three minutes each. Each poem will be judged on a scale from 0.0 to 10 by five randomly selected audience members. Prizes will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.
