"You've never poured all your sunlight into a black hole and called it a girlfriend" — @kitofortune , former member of the DLP Slam Team and now in semifinals to be on the team again.
"Saving men who curse our name but forget his momma is made of steel too" • — @asiaabryant , who will be advancing to semifinals.
Last night's slam was very close and had to end with a tie breaker. Congratulations to @asiaabryant and @kitofortune for advancing onto semi finals! If you are interested in trying out for the 2018 DPL Slam team, keep in mind every third Tuesday is a qualifying slam!
Our slam is currently underway (and it's so close), but before we go onto the next round @therealshihan is telling us a story. For updates, follow us on twitter!
TOMORROW NIGHT IS OUR FIRST QUALIFYING SLAM OF THE SEASON! If you'd like to try out to be on the DPL Slam team, come prepared with three poems under 3 mins. More information about slam can be found on our website. Doors will open at 8:30. $10. See you then!

We Are DPL.

Da Poetry Lounge is a poetry venue at the Greenway Court Theatre, Los Angeles. We have been in operation since 1998.

The ultimate goal of DPL is to create a communal space for people to be heard. We celebrate poetry in all forms, and welcome all those who are courageous enough to share their stories or are willing to support others that do.

Come visit us next Tuesday and be part of what has become the largest weekly open mic in America.
