This is where the blood doesn't always wash away, and the flowers bloom leather pettles! Poets here are coming as hard as they can; hoping to stand out in a city of 20,000,000. The ones that get noticed are usually some of the best in the world! The others just haven't gotten noticed yet. These are the venues, the slams, the open mics, the dates and times for a chance; for poets both old and new to come out and share in the glory that is being a poet in New York City!
