Thursday, June 25, 2009 at 3:14PM June 25, 2009—Literary Death Match NYC, Ep. 15 (also the East Coast launch of the media-darling Opium8: The Infinity Issue) at Bowery Poetry Club brought surprises, laughs, tears (and even some misogynism), as Julie Metz edged out co-finalist Lisa Carver in a race to infinity, beyond, and the end of the stage.
Saturday, March 14, 2009 at 2:13PM The first-ever international Literary Death Match, held before a fun and rowdy crowd at The Bookworm in Beijing, China, was a global dream come true, as award-winning Scottish poet Liz Niven outdueled the dynamic Zachary Mexico in a three-tiered competition that finished with Niven scoring the night’s last points on the final challenge: “Gently Rub a Chopstick on Beijing!” Niven, the first international to call herself champion, wore the medal proudly.
