DESCRIPTION:  \nErich Haygun is a 2015 National Poetry Slam Champion representing The House Slam\, the first poetry slam venue located in his hometown Boston\, MA. He has performed his writing throughout North America & Europe\, and has shared stages with Mary Lambert\, Patricia Smith and Richard Blanco.

He is proud to be Program Director of the youth publishing non-profit Books Of Hope\, as well as a facilitator & speaker for the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center. He lives in a mansion made of trash with a shaggy little dog. \n  \nUnion Square Slam is a literary arts organization providing a space for poets to share their voices\, develop their craft\, and build a community celebrating poetry in all of its expressions. Based in New York City\, U.S.S. produces a weekly reading series featuring contemporary poets with a focus on working artists and authors in the spoken word and slam tradition. Our features are primarily queer-identified and/or people of color and/or identify as disabled or alter-abled. Readings are followed by a PSi certified poetry slam. Union Square Slam hosts a weekly open mic and facilitates free workshops\, encouraging poets to explore creatively.\nIn general\, every show is preceded by a free poetry workshop by Sara Emily Kuntz.
