The Mission



We are a nonprofit founded to empower, create space for, and celebrate feminine people and voices through poetry.



The Movement



We celebrate feminine voices by regularly holding writing workshops, open mics, slams and book releases in and around Boston, MA.



The Tournament



We organize an annual poetry slam tournament for four-person teams comprised of feminine-identifying poets.



The Future



Our organization and community are growing. Find out more about how you can be involved in our work.



Accessibility Statement



We strive to be a radically accessible organization. Radical accessibility looks like welcoming people of all ages and incomes, using venues that are wheelchair accessible, creating affinity spaces, using language that is gender inclusive, and engaging with our community to make our spaces better. We also aim to provide financial accommodations for any team that cannot afford the fees.

Who is this for?



We do not prescribe what feminine means or subscribe to the narrow definitions of what a feminine person looks like. We welcome all people who identify as feminine. This includes but is not limited to queer femmes, GNC femmes, two spirit individuals, trans femmes, trans women and cis women who identify as feminine, and all the other identities feminine people hold at intersections.
