“Simply put, poetry slam is the competitive art of performance poetry. It puts a dual emphasis on writing and performance, encouraging poets to focus on what they’re saying and how they’re saying it.” –Poetry Slam, Inc.
This free event is supported by grants from the Marion Jordan Foundation, the MA Cultural Council, and the local Cultural Councils of Falmouth, Brewster, Sandwich, Dennis, and the Mid-Cape Region. All are welcome.
