Rockland Poets

Rockland Poets holds a poetry slam on the first Saturday of each month at X House on South Franklin in Nyack. 

Anyone can come and sign up to share their own poetry -- or come and listen! Poetry shared at our events varies widely in theme, writing style, and delivery. 

Our event consists of a short open sharing time, followed by the poetry slam itself. A poetry slam is a read/performed poetry competition judged by the audience. If the audience likes a poem, the poet's author advances to the next round and shares another poem. The top 3 most favored poets that evening win some money (usually $75-$125 or so for first place). 

The doors and the sign-up list open at 7:30 pm; the event ends at 10 pm (sometimes 10:05). Admission is $10 general; $5 for students, seniors, and anyone who can't afford $10 right now. More info at rocklandpoets.org
