AboutThe Poets' Asylum is Worcester's weekly poetry open mic, feature and slam organization. It was founded in 1991, has been held in various venues around Worcester, and has become known as one of the premiere performance poetry venues in the New England area. The group currently meets on Sunday nights at Jumpin' Juice and Java (335 Chandler Street, Worcester, MA).
The Poets' Asylum has participated in the National Poetry Slam annually, fielding teams for national competition since 1993, and in 1998 fielded a teen slam team for competition in the first annual National Youth Poetry Slam. We hope to continue to support our readership in future endeavors. The Poets' Asylum is a certified slam venue through Poetry Slam, Inc..
The Worcester Poets' Asylum has always maintained a mix of open mic readings, featured poets, and poetry slams. The series is open to all poets and writers, all ability levels, all styles, all ages, with no constraints on content or language. The reading has never asked for a cover charge, paying its featured poets through the fundraising efforts of its dedicated readership and the generosity of its audience and open mic-ers.
