Open Mic, Slam, Special Guests

Well this Tuesday might have some snow on it but we will melt all that with some hot poetry!

OPEN MIC IN EFFECT

Remember, YOU are the show, so come on out and let the world hear what you've been working on. No poems of your own but you still love poetry? No problem, bring your favorite book of poetry with you and share something from it with the crowd. A little Sandburg perhaps? More of the Neruda type? Paz? Henson? Cullen? Collins? Whatever it is, bring it with you and let us hear you bring those words to life once again.

But remember, the list is limited and once it is full, you go on standby. Why?

Because-

SLAM IN EFFECT

It's the 3rd Tuesday so you know what that means. SLAM! Got a handful of poems no longer than 3 minutes? Are they original? As in yours? As in written by YOU? Want to see how you'll fare in battle or maybe you would like a shot at making the 2006 Black Pearl Poetry National Poetry Slam Team?! Then come on out on time and sign up for the poetry slam. The list is limited and will fill up quickly, don't say you haven't been warned. This is one of three last chances to qualify for the Grand Slam in April. (keep in mind that some people who have acquired points to go to the slam might not make the cut if they don't have enough points, so things are getting tense)
