Have you words embedded in your soul? Lyrics you just have to release into the wider world? Then swing by Black-owned East Austin art gallery RichesArt for their monthly competitive poetry slam, where “ten poets step up, and the crowd decides who wins.” All levels and vibes are welcome to take their turn at the poetic bat, but know you better time yourself perfectly as performers only get three minutes to deliver their pieces. Three rounds, 10 poets, and a $15 door-price for non-performers to enjoy this slam: As RichesArt says, “It's that simple.” – James Scott
