The Lit Slam Season 3 Premiere: Brynn Saito!
The Lit Slam showcases contemporary masters alongside emerging voices in San Francisco's literary scene. It's a poetry competition with a twist: five randomly selected members of our audience become Editors for the evening, and the poems they select are published in our annual anthology, Tandem.
