On this night, the Cantab’s last poetry show before the 2013 National Poetry Slam, we both send off the 2013 Boston Poetry Slam Team and welcome them home! The official home team for Nationals, Ed Wilkinson, Jade Sylvan, Omoizele Okoawo, Nora Meiners, and Sean Patrick Mulroy will present an extended feature full of all the hits (and a few secret B-sides) before hitting the first preliminary bouts of NPS. Awesome!

We’ll also keep you updated here with the team’s upcoming bout schedule at the National Poetry Slam, right here in Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville: the bout draw will be announced in mid-July and we’ll have all the details as soon as they’re available.

This show in our weekly Wednesday series takes place at the Cantab Lounge, 738 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge. Doors for the show open at 7:15. A slightly shortened open mic begins at 8:00 and the extended feature begins at approximately 10:00. (No open slam tonight.) The show is 18+ (ID required) and the cover charge is $5.
