For National Poetry Month, The Baltimore Scene awards a talented adult poet with $700 in cash! For the last nine years, poets from all over the country have competed to be the winner of the largest and longest running adult slam on the East Coast. The event is curated by Chin-yer, Director of The Baltimore Scene and Director of DewMore Baltimore's Maya Baraka Writer's Institute, and hosted by Word War 8 Champion Kenneth Something. Word War 9 will also feature performances by Baltimore City's 2018 Youth Poetry Slam Team! This event is FREE to the public. We will be passing a hat to raise money for our youth to represent our city this summer at Brave New Voices in Houston, Texas. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Times; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Times; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000; min-height: 14.0px} span.s1 {font-kerning: none}
