Emily KaganEmily Kagan started performing poetry two years ago when a friend of hers dragged her to the Berkeley slam. Since then Emily has made her mark on the Bay Area poetry scene, competing on the UC Berkeley collegiate slam team (national champions 2001) and the San Francisco slam team (top 10 at the National Slam competition.) She has self published a book of her own poetry, "Duct Taping Halos To My Head", and is currently working on a CD. Emily is one of the co-founders of SheSlam, a women's poetry collective in the Bay Area dedicated to promoting and supporting new poets. She hosts a monthly poetry reading called Birth of Verse in the heart of Oakland as well as a slam twice a month on the UC Berkeley Campus. This year she was the coach for the UC Berkeley team who took third at this years national colligate slam in Cleveland. Teasingly referred to as "the Rock Star" by her friends, Emily takes an in-your-face approach to poetry, striving to always keep her work grounded, contemporary and for the people. |
