Established in the Germantown neighborhood in 2008, the Fuze poetry slam is the longest running poetry slam in Philadelphia and currently the only venue participating as a part of NPS, the national poetry slam association of America. Over the course of the 10 years since, the Fuze served as host and home for a litany of performance poets across Philadelphia.

Join us for an interview with venue founder Sherrod Smallman and a performance by current team members David Gaines, Cynthia Jones, Talia Mingley.

All proceeds go towards supplementing the teams trip to this year’s national poetry slam in Chicago, IL.
