Celebrate National Poetry Month with “Slam” at NSU’s Library
NSU’s Alvin Sherman Library is celebrating National Poetry Month by hosting a Teen Poetry Slam on April 17 at 5:30 p.m. The slam competition is open to ages 13-18. The last teen poet left standing at the mic will win a prize! The slam will be hosted by local poet, Renda Writer, whose credits include opening for HBO Def Poet and performances at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale.
The slam judging panel will include:
- NSU Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences Associate Lecturer, Kate Ann Heidelbach;
- NSU Adjunct Professor of English, Neil de la Flor; and
- Broward County Poet-in-Residence, Anastasia Clark.
The slam is FREE and open to the public. Participants must prepare a minimum of three poems to perform. All poems must be less than three minutes long and must be the poet’s original work – plagiarism is not allowed. The use of props, costumes, or musical accompaniment is not allowed. The order of the performances will be chosen at random. Performers must pre-register online at http://sherman.library.nova.edu/helios/events/.
