Poetry Slam @ Beyú Caffé

About this event

Our message to "be you," not only applies to our loyal friends and future patrons, but also to local artists. At Beyu Caffe, we seek out the most dedicated and talented poetry artists to help maintain and promote integrity through spoken word—a more commonly used expression for poetry. In the words of Bob Holman, a prominent poet and activist, spoken word is "the democratization of verse...it gives depth to the nation's dialogue that you don't normally hear on the floor of Congress."

Beyu Poetry Slam is featured every 1st and 3rd Friday Night at 10:00pm. It provides a broad range of voices, faces, styles, cultural traditions, and approaches to writing and performance. Our intention is to foster a positive and fun environment which could propel the next great Langston Hughes or Jessica Care Moore. Beyu Caffe is currently working with the renowned poet, Dasan Ahanu, who is currently a professor of creative writing at Saint Augustine's College in Raleigh, NC and coaches Durham's well-known Bull City Slam Team.
