Recent Best of Austin® winner every.Word Poetry – an offshoot of verse advocates the Poet House – celebrates their second year hosting open mics with an out-of-this-world benefit bonanza. Aiming to fund a five-poet pilgrimage to the Blackberry Peach National Poetry Slam, their anniversary event offers not just the usual stage for poetry sign-ups but also a mini slam, a live-painting auction, and music. Interested poets, listen up: Your prompt is “Every.word I wanna say to you.” – James Scott
