Mercury Slam at Desert Social

About this experience

Denver Mercury Poetry has run one of the longest-standing weekly poetry slams in America, and the Sunday night slam now lives at Desert Social on South Broadway. Poets sign up starting at 7:30, the scored slam kicks off at 8, and an open mic follows for anyone who wants the mic without the stakes. The $50 cash prize goes to the night's slam winner, decided by the crowd and judges on performance, words, and presence.

What makes it unique
