PENGAME Poetry Slam at 8 W 126th St – New York, NY

Join us for the PENGAME Poetry Slam!

Get ready for an electrifying night of words and vibes at our in-person Poetry Slam event. Whether you’re a seasoned poet or just love good stories, this is your chance to hear bold voices and powerful performances live. Come hang out, cheer on your favorites, and maybe even share your own verse.

PenGame Poetry Slam is not your typical open mic—this is a live, head-to-head experience where poets battle it out through three rounds of raw penmanship, performance, and presence.

Round by round, the room tightens.
Voices rise.
Energy builds.

Until it comes down to two scribes…
going head to head for the swiftest pen.

This is storytelling under pressure.
This is artistry in real time.
This is a poetry slam like no other.

Whether you’re stepping to the mic or in the audience, you’ll feel it.

Pre-Game Mixer & Open Mic at 5:30 PM
Slam begins at 7:00 PM

Come early. Get in the room.
Play the GAME… or watch.
