Excalibur Poetry // August 2026
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.

DOORS @ 6PM + SHOW @ 7PM
OPEN MIC LIST OPENS AT 6PM SHARP
NO COVER // FREE FUN
Lineup:
Scott Sigl
Ilyssa Goldsmith

C. R. Hooker
Lindsay Hargrave
Follow Excalibur Poetry on Instagram.
Philadelphia-based poet Ilyssa Goldsmith writes at the crossroads of myth, memory, and female desire. She is a professional educator pursuing a master’s in Secondary English Education with an ESL certificate. Ilyssa believes language can illuminate discovery, healing, and return. Letters on the Way Home is her second poetry collection.
Scott Sigl is a musician, poet, and teacher in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area. He has represented and coached Philadelphia multiple times at the National Poetry Slam, and Rowan University at the College National Slam. He was president of Rowan‘s poetry and hip-hop collective Lyrical Alliance for two years.
His poetry explores his unquenchable curiosity around spiritual ideas and the absurdity of human existence with a style ranging from emotionally raw to incredibly silly.
Scott has also been a working musician and private music instructor for over a decade. Come see his video game jazz show The Zelda Project Tuesday September 8th at Nostalgia Fishtown!

Ya know how some films need to be seen to be believed? Screw that.
Jay loves watching and analyzing films from the 1970s, but also films from that era can be… a lot. Thus Alejandro Jodorowsky’s “The Holy Mountain” remains an un-watched, nay un-watchable film. To fix this, James is going to describe to them, and you, in as much detail as is reasonable every event, image, implication, and moral of this 1973 psychedelic art house cacophony while Jay sketches the scenes live as they envision them. A three hour evening in three “acts” audiences are invited to come and go as they please, patronize Tattooed Mom’s kitchen and bar, and even play along via the most high-brow game of telephone pictionary yet attempted by man. By the end of the evening Jay, and y’all, will have watched “The Holy Mountain”.
Without actually having to watch “The Holy Mountain”.
