About us

A very Happy New Year to all of you!

Bring Back The Poets, Delhi brings to you "Slam Jam: Open Mic Poetry 2.0" with the new year!

Come join us as we celebrate the day on which the founders of Bring Back The Poets, Delhi! climbed the stairs of Fursat Se -A Cultural Cafe for the very first time. And together they embarked on this very poetic journey!

An event in the series of open mic poetry events that aim to bring the art of Spoken Word to the people of Delhi. Just think these five words: Authentic. Personal. Poetry. Performance. Audience.

Bring a friend along! Come Sunday and let's talk poetry!

---
- First come, first verse basis...
- The performer of the poem must always be its author
- Memorizing your poem recommended
- 5 minutes stage-time, max
- Any language
- Relax, don't be nervous
- Misogynist, homophobic, racist people not allowed

[PS: This is not just a poetry reading group. Slams are theatrical events and not listening booths, and what proves compelling to audiences is that such events performatively embody the poem and the poet. We'll not get into what a slam poem is, as it is defined less by what it should be than by what it wishes to achieve or affect.]
