Joshua Elbaum has been trying unsuccessfully to escape poetry for the past three years.

Joshua helped to lead the Berklee College Slam Team to its first semi-finals stage at CUPSI. He has performed and taught workshops around the Boston area and has been published mostly by his friends. In 2015 he was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. A Young Adult fantasy villain, he is consistently underestimating and defeated by the power of love.

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