Button Poetry Live

Button Poetry Live Release shows are back! Please check our upcoming events for more info. Show at 8pm. Workshops TBA. We will do our absolute best to accommodate you!

In 2015, Saint Paul's beloved literary event, Soap Boxing Poetry Slam, teamed up with Minnesota’s own Button Poetry, the largest digital distributor of spoken word in the world. With the assistance of the Knight Foundation, Button Poetry Live is a monthly poetry slam competition that features nationally renowned poets and local talent, as well as free writing workshops open to the public. First Mo

nday of every month.
$15 reserved // $12 general // $9 students // 18+
Doors at 7pm. A quick note about the poetry slam at Button Poetry Live:

We believe that our show is best when it is balanced and engaging. In order to help accomplish this, for each show, we work to place both experienced and new poets up on our stage with a draw. Additionally, to accommodate folks with disabilities or mobility issues who may have trouble getting to a show, or folks who are coming from out of town, we give special consideration to them, including pre-reserved spots in the draw. If you are interested in competing in a slam and one of those applies to you, please reach out to Sarah at [email protected] at least one week prior to the show. For general sign-up, please show up no later than 7:45 PM the day of the show to get your name on the draw list.
