The event is hosted by poet, graphic designer, videographer, and all-around creative man-about-town Marcus Amaker, who will also present a solo poetry reading. Matt Foley, a poet and English and creative writing teacher at the Charleston Charter School for Math & Science, will also read.
The Poetry Slam starts at 8 p.m. (doors open at 7 p.m.) and tickets are $5. Poets who want to enter the slam pay a $10 entry fee. Learn more and get tickets at charlestonmusichall.com.
