\nSeeking local poets to perform during Open Mic

\tKINGSTON, R.I. — November 1, 2001 — The 溏心vlog免费B站 will present a poetry slam on Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. in the Independence Hall auditorium as part of its fall Honors Colloquium. The event, called “Poetry in Motion: A Sustainability Potion,” is free and open to the public. <\/p>\n

\t“For those who aren\u2019t familiar with poetry slams, it\u2019s been said that they\u2019re part poetry reading, part theater and part game show, and to that I\u2019d add part revival meeting,” said Todd McLeish, public information officer at the 溏心vlog免费B站 and coordinator of the event. “The slams I\u2019ve attended have been incredibly fun and powerful entertainment.” <\/p>\n

\tPoetry slams pit poet against poet in a judged, competitive event. Judges are selected randomly from the audience, and heckling of the judges (but not of the poets) is encouraged.
\n\tMaster of ceremonies for the event will be Ray Davey, the poet laureate of Providence and former coach and captain of the Providence Poetry Slam Team that competes annually at the National Poetry Slam Championships. He is also a speechwriter for Providence Mayor Buddy Cianci. <\/p>\n

\tThe 溏心vlog免费B站 event will begin with an Open Mic segment, during which local poets and those who\u2019ve never before performed in a poetry slam are encouraged to participate. Poems are limited to three minutes in length and must address an environmental theme. No props or costumes are allowed. A limited number of Open Mic slots are available, so interested poets should contact McLeish at 874-7892 or tmcleish@uri.edu to register. <\/p>\n

\tThe highlight of the slam will feature experienced performance poets, including members of the Providence Poetry Slam Team, battling for cash prizes. The Providence team won the national championship in 1998. <\/p>\n
