On June 23, 2022, GLS hosted a virtual poetry slam on Zoom. It was a fun and invigorating literary event, emceed by our own GLS Atlanta Assistant Manager Vanessa Meadows.

We had 11 active participants, performing a combination of original works and favorites by other poets. A total of 33 people were in attendance, including one visitor from North Carolina. Everybody had a good time.

Vanessa says she is definitely planning to host another poetry slam in 2023. She doesn’t know yet if it will be in person or virtual. Stay tuned for an announcement of the event once we pick out a date and put together a plan.

The recording of the 2022 GLS Poetry Slam is now available for everyone to enjoy on the GLS YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/QF6x_tOoQaw.
