Under the sage tutelage of Dave Casario Montana Slam brings all the thrill of the Slam scene to Billings Montana. Our mission is to provide a place for poets to perform competitively and non-competitively in a friendly supportive environment.
What is a Poetry Slam?
Before poetry slams there were Poetry Recitals. All was well except for the last poet on the list. By the time it was their turn, the poets at the top of the list, and the audience they brought were gone. Slam poetry was brought to revitalize and waken up the poems, performances, and audiences. It allows humans to indulge in their mammal craving for competition while simultaneously providing a good show and a good story.
