A busy week for poetry in the Phoenix area - some regular events are held only once a month, and three of them land this week: like tonight's WordSpoken and Friday night's Poetry on Fire. Some old favorites are back such as The Studio on Wednesday and Poetry in The Park at its new location this Friday. Even the Vybe is Live and alive in Scottsdale 2nd & 4th Tuesdays. There are brand new events, too, such as The Stash on Thursdays at Hidden House, and a new Scottsdale Slam the very same night! Not to mention the Phoenix Slam on it's new night - 2nd & 4th Wednesdays. The Blunt club also has a new location - Club Red, along with Willow House: relocated to 17th Avenue and Van Buren. Sound confusing? Find it all below, AND at http://www.phoenixpoet.com
