Excalibur happens in the same time and place as Scribes on South, the last Sunday of each month on the second floor of Tattooed Mom.
Excalibur is the sword given to Arthur by the lady in the lake. It is the legendary sword used to defend against colonialism and oppression. Our guiding principles are the same. This is a place to wield your words against the forces that would rather see us dead.

Christopher Clauss (he/him) is a poet, organizer, ocean explorer, middle school science teacher, and “pretty ok dad” from rural New Hampshire. His work has appeared in more than 60 publications, including New York Quarterly, Plants and Poetry Journal, Sylvia, FreezeRay, and Bureau of Complaint. As a performance poet he has competed at the national level for over a decade, most recently being a member of the winning team at the 2024 Ohio Meatgrinder Poetry Slam. Nominated for 2025 NH Teacher of the Year, his pre-teen science students rave that Mr. Clauss is “Fine, I guess. Whatever.” Christopher’s first book of poetry, Photosynthesis & Respiration (Silver Bow Press, 2022) explores the bliss and turmoil of relationships at the intersection of life, love, and science.
