Poetry

Poetry and the spoken word rocks at SMC, but who would know it? Now you will.

The Siege is committed to nurturing this site into an open forum where the incredible and unrecognized Santa Monica College poets in our midst - students, teachers, or whomever - can post their words and where others may discover the art these talented people have crafted. Our dream is for a slumbering SMC community to be awakened and transformed thereby.

If you’re interested in posting your poetry on The Siege, or you want to join this evolving dialogue in other ways to experience or contribute to what might be possible, then give us a holler. This project (including planned future print versions) will only be limited by the imaginations of the people.
