This year, the U.S. National Poetry Slam is in Denver and will feature 80 teams battling it out in a week-long poetry slam.

Our Team will be competing on Aug 8 and Aug 10, and even though you might not be able to make it to Denver, we want all our fans to cheer on our team from home!

We will also try to keep our fans posted via Twitter @TOpoetryslam during the bouts.

On Aug 8, the TPS Team will square off against: Reno Poetry Slam, Slam Free or Die, and Montevallo Poetry Slam.
On Aug 10 the Team will bout against: Dada Slam, Steel City Slam and FTW Slam.

That's right, it's the first big TPS Team fundraiser coming this summer and get ready to dance and check out hot tunes!

We want to celebrate Pride with our fans at our special June 24 slam!

We can't wait to have on our stage two incredible poets who are no stranger to the Drake: Rabbit Richards, hailing from Montreal, and Kay Kassirer, repping Vancouver and a former TPS Team member.

The slam stage and open mic slots are available to you, budding poets and storytellers, and bring your words to the Drake on June 24, with doors at 7pm and signup at 730pm.
