Here’s why the Pigeon’s slam is different: They welcome new voices. Their headlining poets-mostly New York names-run pre-slam workshops for those at any skill level. And their audiences know well-edited, high-quality lyricism when they hear it. You want to see where the Philly slam-poetry scene is heading? Just follow this self-proclaimed “audacious bird that is everywhere.” Check their Facebook page for the latest event updates.
