Slam Information

Picture representing SLAM Poetry


Simply put, poetry slam is the competitive art of performance poetry. Established in the mid-80s as a means to heighten public interest in poetry readings, slam has evolved into an international art form emphasizing audience involvement and poetic excellence.

Edgewood High School has one poetry slam every month for the cheap price of three dollars. The money goes to the creation of our school's literary magazine. The Slams will be at 6:00 and they are on Wednesdays.

If you would like to be apart of our Slam Team, or would just like to stop by and see a show, come and see Mrs. Childs in room B314 or Mr. Lewis in C207
