SUMMARY:Poetry Showcase: ATL Slam!
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Atlanta\, GA based slam poets on tour!\n**Nobody Likes Us But We’re Here Anyways**\nNate Mask and Ryan J are Atlanta-based spoken word artists. They are tolerated in their local scene because their poems are somewhat entertaining\, but nobody actually likes either of them. Their work touches on topics ranging from the struggle of deconstructing masculinity\, learning to exist in a world that looks down on blackness\, relationships\, mental health to driving in Atlanta traffic. Despite their differences in approach and personality\, their dynamic as a team somehow works\, as Ryan actually enjoys talking to people\, and Nate always comes through in the clutch\, and opens tough jars for Ryan. \nand local poets:\n**Robert Lashley**\nRobert Lashley is a 2016 Jack Straw Fellow\, Artist Trust Fellow\, and nominee for a Stranger Genius Award\, Robert Lashley has had poems published in Feminete\, Seattle Review Of Books\, NAILED\, GRAMMA\, and The Cascadia Review. His first full-length book: The Homeboy Songs\, was published by Small Doggies press in April 2014. His new book\, Up South\, was published in March of 2017.  \n**Dee Dee Chapman**\nDee Dee Chapman received her BA in Creative Writing at Western Washington University in 2016. She has been published in The Noisy Water Review\, Sweet Tree Review\, and Wallpaper Magazine. In September 2014 she self published her first chapbook\, Colluvium\, whose title poem received a 2017 Walk Award from the Sue C. Boynton Poetry Contest.
