The circus is coming to Viracocha! Join us for May's installment of The Lit Slam and be amazed at the Hall of Human Curiosities Karrie Waarala builds and explores inside her poetry. She is a multifaceted, sword-swallowingly sharp writer not to be missed. For more information on Karrie, check out her bio below.


The Lit Slam is a live performance-curated poetry publication where the audience serves as the Editors for a brand-new, highly competitive literary journal. First place gets published. List opens at 8PM sharp. Be there on time if you're looking to read. For more information on our process and rules, check out http://www.thelitslam.com

And as it stands, The Lit Slam's poetry competition is becoming the absolute hottest in town. Our journal has local luminaries like Josh Merchant, James Cagney, Katelyn Lucas, Sam Sax, Javier Zamora, and Abe Becker--not to mention poetry contributions from each of our nationally recognized features. Can you blame our competitors for wanting to be published alongside those names? Come watch as the best of the best throw their most crafted brilliant poems onstage in hopes of seeing their work immortalized in print.

Karrie Waarala holds an MFA from the Stonecoast program at University of Southern Maine and is a teaching artist at The Rooster Moans poetry cooperative. Her work has appeared in journals such as Iron Horse Literary Review, PANK, The Collagist, Arsenic Lobster, and Radius, two national poetry slam anthologies, and on a coffee shop floor in Arizona. Karrie has recently channeled her performance energy into writing, producing and performing a one-woman show. LONG GONE: A Poetry Sideshow, which is based on Karrie's full-length collection of circus poems, debuted last year to critical acclaim. She really wishes she could tame tigers and swallow swords.
