Suzy La Follette, 6th place finisher, 2003 National Poetry Slam

When we militarize our borders, we militarize our imaginations. I perform at poetry slams, open mics, in classrooms, on street corners, on borders, at conferences, on roofs, in spanish, in english, fiction, nonfiction and everything inbetween. I host events, give workshops and light fires under pens. I bring what I have seen, what I’ve heard, and who I’ve met. Get in touch to set something up with me, I’m above all flexible.
