Hi,
In Seattle, WA we have a very active Slam organization which includes winners and finalists of the National Poetry Slam. Here's the link:

I'd like to add my encouragement to your suggestion. There's nothing like a poetry slam to get you excited about words, I leave every slam completely exhilerated and in love with poetry. Run! - Don't Walk! - To your nearest poetry slam or spoken word venue.
Laurie
What a really useful posting - I will certainly try one of these venues out next time I am in the States - thank you!
If you are in Columbus, Ohio, I would recommend Writer's Block Poetry, which takes place every Wednesday at Kafe Kerouac, which is near the OSU campus.
Every Wednesday there is an open mic, followed by a slam on some nights. There is also a First Draft Night every third Friday - you can only read poetry on this night that has *never publicly been read*. Usually there is a featured poet performing at First Draft.
Most shows start at 8:00 PM.
I would also advice checking out Writing Wrongs, a new poetry slam group in Columbus.
-Nicole
