The Berkeley Poetry Slam is 25 years old! Join us in celebrating this revered Bay Area staple and see some of the very best and brightest poets to have represented Berkeley on stages across California and the US over the past two and a half decades. Poets from different eras of the show, including Jason Bayani (Locus), Nazelah Jamison (Evolutionary Heart), Sam Sax (Bury It), and Reggie Edmonds (Sad Boi) will share poems and be in conversation about what the show has meant to them, and so many others over the years. Hosted by the man who started the whole thing way back in ‘98, Ekabhumi Charles Ellick (The Bhakti Coloring Book: Deities, Mandalas, and the Art of Playful Meditation).
