Living the poetic boldness with us will be Mick (Micki) Topham! Mick (she/her) is a spoken word artist from Utah who’s competed in countless poetry events, slams, and competitions including the 2022 National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada. She has taught poetry workshops and performed throughout the DMV, including featuring at a 2025 World Pride event in Washington, DC. Her work has been published in the Mid-Atlantic Review, and she was a finalist in the DC Poet Project, a citywide competition uplifting local poets. You can find her most weeks at two or three open mics, passionately snapping for the incredible poets and performers across the DMV. This is her first ever feature in Baltimore!

Holdin’ it down for the evening is Analysis—poet/spoken word artist, author, rad minister and bookseller, educator, justice & human rights person… Y’all know what’s up!

Now, as much as ever, it’s time for all artists of all genres to use our skills in the service of the Struggle! We will gather again to strengthen each other through one of those genres, poetry, that we may move forward while in the midst of the current dystopia.
