This is my collection of (mostly) poetry chapbooks from my time in the spoken word/open mic scene. Most of the authors whose work is listed here are people I worked with in some capacity, either directly via my Open Mic Project, or indirectly via one or more open mics. Entries are ordered by author(s).
