I just got back from the Brewer Bookstore Poetry Slam and am the proud owner of a 3rd place certificate! Our class nearly swept the awards, getting 4th (Jess Y), 3rd, and 2nd place (Craig), so a great job goes out to all that entered! And many thanks to all those who showed up and supported. I also have to thank my workshop group for giving me the positive feedback that encouraged me to actually go up there and read my poem. I chose to read my assignment #9, and was happy to see that it actually got a few chuckles out of the crowd. Both Jess Young and Craig did an awesome job of performing there pieces as well!
It was an awesome experience that I almost didn't do, but I am sure glad I did do it. I think that it's a really neat idea for an event, and that continuing the effort would be awesome. Something like a Poetry Slam at least once a semester could give students an awesome opportunity to present some of the poems they've been working hard on, and there's few better feelings than seeing the poem you've worked so hard on being appreciated by others. I'm sure that the more and more slams there are, more and more people will show up and participate.
