Our 2023 first slam team is Art, Brother D, Lexi Wight, and Will C.

Art Collins is a Boston native and a Restorative Practices Coach in Boston
Public Schools. He is a performance poet who has competed on 6 Lizard Lounge National Poetry Slam teams. He is a graduate of Clark Atlanta University and New Hampshire College Graduate School of Business. Art creates socially conscious poetry that informs as well as entertains his listeners.

"Will C." Chalmus is widely known as an educator, poet, and consultant. He lives at the intersection of education, art, and community development. Internationally he is a trainer, performer, and administrator of Playback Theatre. This is his second time on the Lizard Lounge Slam team. 

Lexi Wight is a poet transplanted from Maine into the Boston Poetry scene. She was knighted at Terry O'Reilly's Open Mic Jam and on the slam team for three consecutive years for Lizard Lounge. While on the team, she performed with them regionally and traveled to Nationals in Atlanta, Denver, and Chicago. In addition, she has been a featured poet at Lizard Lounge, Hale Education, and Stone Soup poetry, as well as a guest on 87FM’s Smokin’ Rhymes and the Boston Stoops podcast.

The team will perform with accompaniment from the band.
