About ForWord

After being in the slam scene for 3 years, ForWord is still proving he has something to say. Born in the bay area and raised in Sacramento, he has been winning slams all over Northern California. A member of the 2008 Sacramento Slam Team and also a freestyle hip-hop lyricists, ForWord is not only breaking stereotypes with his controversial content, but is also gaining respect in communities that historically have not been supportive of artists of his nature. Early 2008 he was the first openly gay battle MC to win the grand prize at the popular Oakland venue "Tourrettes Without Regrets" and has won numerous battles throughout the valley and bay area. He has gone head to head with some of the nation's top poets and was a fierce competitor in Modesto's much acclaimed invitational "ILL LIST 5″. 2009 he was featured on 103.5 kbmb as one of "Sac's Finest" and is in the process of recording his first album which is scheduled to be released later this year. You can find him on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/forwordpoetry

Queer Open Mic is a regular event offering a mixed bag of open mic performances (usually poetry and short stories, sometimes music or comedy) and kick-ass features. Primarily serving the queer community, it's been running since 2004. All ages and inds of queer writers are welcome- just bring that rough draft or polished gem! Five minutes max, $3-5 donation, no one turned away, lots of queer literary love. For more info, visit http://queeropenmic.com.
