A poetry slam is a competition between poets performing original work judged by members of the audience. The content and styles are as diverse as the people of our great city.

Come perform, watch or judge.

Poets wishing to compete should arrive at 8:30 to put their names in the hat. All poets who put their name in the hat pay half price. BRING A HAIKU THAT YOU WROTE. If more than 15 poets put their name in the hat we'll have a Haiku slam off at 8:45

PRIORITY IS GIVEN TO POETS WHO HAVE ALREADY SLAMMED.

3 Minute and 10 second time limit for reach round.

1st round 10 poets
2nd round 4 poets
