Poetry Slam

The Poetry Slam at Busboys and Poets provides a platform for spoken word artists to share their work in a competitive yet supportive environment. Expect a diverse range of voices and styles, from narrative verse to experimental pieces, as poets perform original material for the audience and a panel of judges. This regular event takes place on Saturday, November 28, 2026, at the Hyattsville Busboys and Poets location. The intimate setting of the performance space is well-suited for this type of show, appealing to those who appreciate live literature and engaging storytelling.
