Verses & Velvet: A Poetry Slam Cafe

An evening of spoken soul, shared pages, and candlelit connection.

Step into a dreamy bohemian cafe where poetry breathes from every corner and creativity fills the air like incense. “Verses & Velvet” is a soul-stirring evening of spoken word and musical fusion - a curated poetry slam experience that invites poets, dreamers, and listeners alike to gather around candlelit tables, sip curated drinks, and let language move them.

Set in a warmly lit space adorned with velvet drapes, string lights, and soft jazz playing beneath the buzz of anticipation, the evening opens the stage to both seasoned performers and spontaneous readers pulled from the crowd. At each cafe table, curated poetry books and chapbooks are displayed, inviting guests to choose a poem and share aloud if they feel called.

Whether you’re a poet, a listener, or somewhere in between, you’re welcome to savor the artistry and intimacy of this community celebration of the spoken word.
