Why Vogue Thinks the Vegas Poetry Scene is Poppin'
It’s been a long hard summer for many reasons. Ways to find relief are more important than ever, but where do you go in a city that’s known to be shallow and culture-less? Host and former Clark County Poet Laureate Vogue Robinson sits down with Producer Layla Muhammad to set the record straight about the culture surrounding Vegas’ thriving poetry scene. Vogue gives you everything you need to know on how to engage with the poetry community in Las Vegas and why it’s important for the city to support.
Check out Wednesday’s newsletter for a list of recurring poetry open mics, slams, and jams happening in town.
