I know!If only I'd known while I lived there, I mighta been able to start something.
There used to be a reading on South Street I loved because cats like Amiri Baraka would just stop by, no fuss, and read on the open just like everyone else.That' was '99, though.

Yeah, that sucks. UPenn & Philly Youthspeaks are way too good to not have a PSI outlet.

I know this post is old but it is one of the first things that comes up when Philadelphia Poetry Slam is googled. We have two poetry slams! A monthly poetry slam The Pigeon Presents: The Philadelphia Poetry Slam & the bi weekly The Fuze Poetry Slam. Both are great. Both worth checking out.
