We held a slam open to all (walk in and sign up at the door) on the last Sunday in September. The top five poets to win the slam-off (following standard slam rules, 3 round slam) became the Upstate Slam Team. Kimberly Simms Gibbs was the emcee.

If we need to replace a poet we will advertise via facebook, the website, etc and then take the champion from the next scheduled slam as listed on our website. www.witsendpoetry.com
