It’s been a year since producing Los Angeles’ very first poetry art gallery. It seems that even till today I’m still marinating on the event, but here’s what I can admit and reveal about our (overly?) ambitious project, The Poetry Art Gallery.
Is poetry slam the end-all, be-all spoken word competition format? Five years ago we tried to address this, but would soon leave the idea to pursue building the Pen Clique podcast. But with lock-down giving us ample time to develop ideas, it’s time we reintroduce to the world: The Poetry Clash.
While the Clique’s been building a studio and Kuya been out cracking knuckles with IG’s most popping poetry presence, we high-key left the pod audience hanging longer than 2k D’Angelou fans waiting for black messiah.
