Bay Area performance poet Cameron Awkward-Rich.

Bay Area performance poet Cameron Awkward-Rich.

Cameron Awkward-Rich is a weirdo and a graduate student who sometimes also sends poems off into the abyss for the hell of it, a habit he developed early but honed at Wesleyan University where he co-created a queer art magazine and his senior project –a collection of poetry –won the Dorchester Prize for best thesis submitted to the English Department. In 2012, Cam was a member of both the Bay Area Unified and Stanford University slam teams. He is currently pursuing a PhD from the program in Modern Thought & Literature at Stanford.

The open mic begins at 8:00 and the feature performs at approximately 10:00. An open speed slam in the 8×8 series will follow. The show is 18+ (ID required) and the cover charge is $3.
