Stop by the Cavern Club in Ann Arbor on the first Thursday of the month, September-November 2010, for the BRAND NEW ANN ARBOR POETRY SLAM hosted by Lindsay Stone and Lady Vixion.
A cash prize will be awarded to the top poet of the night. There will also be an open-mic for non-slammers and live music performed by Full Dimensional.
A poetry slam is a competition in which poets perform original works. Each performance is judged on a numeric scale by randomly selected members from the audience. Typically, a poetry slam is highly politicized, with participants taking on many issues ranging from current social and economic issues, to gendered injustices, and racial issues. Poets are judged not only on the content of their slam, but also by the manner of delivery and passion behind their words.
The Cavern Club is located at 210 South 1st Street, Ann Arbor. Call 734-913-8890 for more info.
