Oh Boy:
Have I a treat for you!
Come on out to the first poetry slam of the semester tonight! Two-person poems will be written, edited, and rehearsed in the 24 hours before the slam. These pieces will be raw, fresh, and/or tasty, so you will not want to miss out on the feast. Who will win? (It doesn’t matter.) Come out and see!
There will be an open mic before the slam, during which all acts are welcome. Come up and do your crazy act with the monkey if it strikes your fancy so.
And The Good News Poetry Tour will be featuring! Check out a poem from one of them here.

Between the three poets, there are two College National Poetry Slam Champions: one member of the #1-ranked 2011 Macalester national slam team, and one member of the 2010/2011/2012 Macalester slam teams, which ranked 3rd, 1st, and 2nd in the nation, respectively. Neil Hilborn and Hieu Nguyen have coached poetry slam teams that ranked in the Top 4 in the nation, and Dylan Garity founded the Macalester Poetry Slam, a nationally-acclaimed spoken word event.
