She is currently ranked second in the World Poetry Slam. Celena is featured in Spoken Word Revolution a new anthology narrated by the creator of the poetry slam Marc Smith, and bullets and butterflies a queer poetry anthology to be released Janurary 2005. Also soon to be released is Slam Channel a documentary about the lives of contemporary poets in NYC and Austin, TX in which Celena has a main role.

“If you are looking for the new poetry, listen to Celena Glenn. The new poet- digital producer, fashionista, poetry party parlayer, writer with shape, sound, bullets, rhyme.
