Featured Poet:
36 Chambers of Poetry hails from Philadelphia, PA and has been writing spoken word since the 4th grade. He recently became a member of the Philadelphia Slam team No Philter in 2025 and has since competed in several slams. Described as a master of satire, his art speaks to various problems plaguing society, while also touching upon topics ranging from aliens to love & erotica. He hopes his art will inspire while also leaving the people he meets better than he found them.
