WOMXN OF THE WORLD POETRY SLAM
The Womxn of the World Poetry Slam (WOWPS) is a slam for poets 18 years and older who identify as women. The WOWPS community was uniquely designed to honor and celebrate the stories of women in a world that readily attempts to silence and oppress them. It is a space where we are centered, safe, and encouraged.
WOWPS was introduced to the national slam poetry community in 2008 by Kimberly Simms and Deborah Marsh. The first WOWPS was held in Detroit, Michigan and since that time, the slam has been traveling all across the United States.
WOWPS 2024 was hosted by the Black Arts District in Baltimore, Maryland from March 27th - March 30th. WOWPS will be taking a break for radical rest and reflection in 2025.
WOWPS 2025 ANNOUNCEMENT
Thank you to all the incredible poets, attendees, and participants of Womxn of the World Poetry Slam 2024! Your voices filled the room with power and passion, and we are grateful for your incredible talent and energy.
It is with a heavy heart that we announce that we will not be returning in 2025. This decision is not made lightly, but we believe that it is important to prioritize radical rest and reflection in order to come back even stronger and better in the future. We are confident that this break will allow us to reenergize and refocus, so that when we return, our event will be more impactful than ever before!
