Saturday Night Slam Series in Provo, April 9, 2016 @ 6pm

snssThe Saturday Night Slam Series in conjunction with the BYU English Society presents the The Final(s) Slam!

Dates vary, but the slams are about once a month and held on campus. Check their Facebook Events page for details. 

The this Saturday Night Slam is April 9, 2016 at 6pm and will be held at The Wall at the Wilkinson Center. 1151 Wilkinson Student Center in Provo.

Entry fee is one original Haiku. 16 people will be randomly selected to present during our intermission.

Poetry performed should be acceptable for a general audience, i.e PG-13. To sign up you can email saturdaynightslamseries@gmail.com or contact them via their Facebook page.

The format is slightly different than other slams. Rather than judges holding score cards after each performance, the randomly selected judges keep notes throughout the evening and then meet together at the end (during the head-to-head haiku championship round) to decide the winners.

Dennis Clark reads Laura Hamblin POEMBALL poem . . .

At the Speak for Yourself open mic last Thursday at Enliten Cafe in Provo, Dennis Clark put in a quarter and read this gorgeous POEMBALL poem written by local poet and UVU professor Laura Hamblin.

We had a blast selecting from the local poetry talent and folding each poem into it’s own capsule. Head on down to Enliten Bakery and Cafe to try it out!

You can support local poets for only 25 cents!
