For one weekend, Cambridge becomes the center of New England's spoken word scene. NorthBeast Regional Poetry Slam brings together powerhouse poets from across the Northeast for a packed schedule of head-to-head competitions, workshops and performances where every round is judged live and every poem is performed only once. The energy is part literary event, part sporting event, with audiences cheering, snapping and reacting to every line. Even if you don't think poetry is your thing, it's hard not to get swept up in the room when someone's delivering a piece that lands exactly the way they hoped.
