The St. Catharines Poetry Slam has spent years building a home for poets in Niagara — and that home was built by the people in it. We’re inviting anyone who has been part of this: past and present slammers, feature poets, hosts, volunteers, audience members, venue partners, community collaborators, and everyone in between.

Tell us what the Slam has meant to you.

Your reply can be anything: a paragraph, a comment on this post, a photo, a video, or a poem. There’s no wrong way to say it, and there’s no length requirement — one sentence is just as welcome as one page.

📅 Please send your responses by Wednesday, September 17th at the latest.

You can comment below, DM us, or email us at [email].

Every word helps us keep this stage open, keep our features paid, and keep showing up for poets in Niagara. We can’t wait to hear from you.
What does the Poetry Slam mean to you?
