The Lit Slam showcases contemporary masters alongside emerging voices in San Francisco's literary scene. It's a poetry competition with a twist: five randomly selected members of our audience become Editors for the evening, and the poems they select are published in our annual anthology, Tandem.

We're back with a new venue! (The Shelton Theatre, just off Powell BART) We're opening our season with the incredible BRYNN SAITO! Here's some more info about Brynn:
Brynn Saito is the author of The Palace of Contemplating Departure, winner of the Benjamin Saltman Poetry Award from Red Hen Press (2013). She also co-authored, with Traci Brimhall, Bright Power, Dark Peace, a chapbook of poetry from Diode Editions (2013). Brynn’s work has been anthologized by Helen Vendler and Ishmael Reed; it has also appeared in Virginia Quarterly Review, Ninth Letter, Hayden’s Ferry Review, and Pleiades. Brynn was born in Fresno, California, to a Korean American mother and a Japanese American father.
