UBC Slam Poetry is an AMS club that strives to create a warm and creative space for folks to perform, enjoy, and practice poetry.
What do we offer as a club:
1) We host open mic + feature events where we invite a rotation of professional local poets to share their work. Our open mic is open is available to everyone, even first time performers.
2) We host small group workshops where aspiring poets can discuss and hone their craft. Each workshop has a theme with unique guided activities.
3) We collect student submission for our chapbook where students have the chance to be published and get paid for their writing.
4) We keep you updated on our club and the local poetry community through our newsletter, with prompts and poems to keep you inspired.
5) We partner with poetry organizations throughout the city such as Death Rides a Unicorn so that students can attend cool events and get involved into the greater Vancouver poetry community. This also includes sending a representative to compete the Canadian Individual Poetry Slam during the Verses Festival of Words.
6) All of these events and projects are run by our amazing executive team. We are always looking for more help so come talk to us if you're interested in how we operate behind the scenes.
If you want to get involved with our club, we post all of our events and opportunities to our instagram!
