Charis & Cliterati pair up to present an inviting and fierce open mic
& reading series on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Hosted by the anarchic
spoken wordteam of Karen G and Theresa Davis, members of the Art Amok Slam
Team, this series cultivates the voices of authors, novices and an assortment
of poets, songstresses and storytellers. April’s feature is Andi Kauth, who
began her career in Slam in 2004 under the tutelage of the founder of Poetry
Slam, Marc Kelly Smith. She is currently a member of the PolyRhythmic Arts
Collective, a committee member of the Arkansas Grand Slam and she co-founded
the Chicago Four Star Poetry Club with long time friend and teammate Billy
Tuggle. Oh, and she's only 21. Andi may only be 21 but she’s already a
professional poet.
