If there’s a better way to celebrate an impending long weekend than a sweet open mic full of sweethearts, then sweet Chrysanthemum Tran sweetly driving a sweet little pickup truck through your sweet misconceptions about language, we’ve sure never heard of it. Chrysanthemum showed off the performance skills and flair for language that make her one of slam’s top competitors, as well as the delicacy and penchant for a solid side-eye at colonialism that make her such a sought-after feature. Did you miss your chance to purchase Chrysanthemum’s chapbook, A Lexicon, at the show? We have high hopes that you’ll get another chance when the Providence Poetry Slam Team returns to visit us to slam…
In the mean time, of course, we are still out here collecting slam winners for the next Champion of Champions series. RebeccaLynn and Evan Cutts took an arm-and-arm besties run at the final round last night, with RebeccaLynn coming out on top for another first-in-the-8×8 win. Don’t weep for Evan’s loss, though; we’re excited to bring him back to the stage next week to celebrate his work in a full feature set. See you there!
