Da Poetry Lounge is the largest weekly open mic performance space for poetry in the US.[1] It is located in Los Angeles at the Greenway Court Theatre.[1]
History[]
Da Poetry Lounge was founded in 1998 as "Dante's Poetry Lounge" by poets Dante Basco, Ron "Shihan" VanClief, Devan "Poetri" Smith and "Brutha" Gimmel Hooper.[2][3] The DPL has a slam poetry team that performs in national poetry competitions. Performers have to show up to the Tuesday night readings early to sign up to perform. The artists then perform on a first-come-first-served basis.[1]
