A poetry slam is a competition between poets performing original work judged by members of the audience. This poetry slam is organized by Jacob Winterstein, Kai Davis & Jasmine Combs.
Come perform, watch or judge.
**Poets wishing to compete should arrive at 8:30 to put their names in the hat. BRING A HAIKU. If at 8:45 there are more than 16 poets signed up to slam we’ll have a head to head haiku battle. Poets who put their name in the hat pay $5. At 9:00pm poets names will be picked out of the hat. Some poets will be pre-selected.**
The Pigeon* is excited to announce that this month’s feature and workshop** leader:
