DOG STAR knows many, many poets, rappers and spoken word performers. A few of them have made it to the Preliminary Rounds of the Urban Word / Knicks Poetry Slam.
In these rounds, poets are eliminated in slam competitions until each round produces a group to move forward. The winner of each round goes on to the next round - the Semi-Finals - and then the winners of the Semis go onto the Finals at the Apollo Theater in March!
This FREE event is held during January at Nuyorican Poets Cafe on the Lower East Side.
Event Details:
Saturday, January 9 AND Sunday, January 10
3-6pm
Free Admission
These are two separate preliminary round events with different poets competing at each event.

EASY TO REACH:
Closest Subway Stop is "2nd Avenue" on the F Train:
F Train to 2nd Avenue Station.
Get out at the 1st Avenue exit and walk east to Avenue B. This is the closest subway train stop, since you'll be getting out on East Houston Street, which is already below 14 Street, and you'll be getting out on 1st Avenue, which is pretty far east.
