"Define Me a Woman"

Emily Kagan

Emily Kagan started performing poetry when a friend of hers dragged her to the Berkeley slam. Since then Emily has made her mark on the Bay Area poetry scene, becoming a Slam Champion, 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 on 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 San Francisco. 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.
