Arm Your Voice: The Hygienic Poetry Series

Arm Your Voice
The Hygienic Poetry Series

Monthly, third Wednesdays starting in December from 6pm to 8pm.

Doors open at 6pm -- from 6:30 to 7:15 we will have our featured poet, followed by an all ages open mic from 7:30 to 8pm.

“Arm Your Voice” serves as an opportunity for poets of all skill levels to network and showcase their work. The monthly series is coordinated by Hygienic’s own resident artist, the talented Travis Gibbs. “Arm Your Voice” will open with a Featured Poet who will engage a diverse audience with an impactful and entertaining performance. The featured poet will be followed by an intermission and Open Mic portion of the night, which serves as a great opportunity for new or novice poets to earn their spot as a Featured Poet!

Setting the standards high, the first month will feature nationally known Tarishi “Midnight” Shuler, the Slammaster of the CT Slam team Verbal Slap. Shuler has performed at the National Poet Slam 5 times since 2011 - 2015 and was the CT Grand slam champion in 2011&12. He has performed all over the country and won the McCafe Poetry Slam in NY 2010, 2012 & 2013. Tarishi has also opened for former President Bill Clinton in 2012 at the Edison Ballroom in NYC Time Square.

**The Open Mic is first come, first serve, and each poet is limited to four minutes.
