NPS was Outstanding!
0 Comments | Posted by Hellslam in Ann Arbor Poetry Slam, National Poetry Slam
The National Poetry Slam was last week and I have barely begun to recover from the great poetry. Ann Arbor made the Semi-finals for the first time since 2000! There are not enough exclamation points available for how cool that is.
Our intrepid poets faced off against some of the toughest teams around in their semi-final, including the home team Austin, and the team that would win the whole thing, Slam Charlotte.
Mike, Matt, Karyna, and Logic performed wonderfully the entire week. In a few weeks you will have the opportunity to see them yourself, when they feature at the Heidelberg on the first Tuesday in September. With any luck, I’ll be able to get one or more of them to write up their adventures in Austin for you.

August Slam – and the National Poetry Slam

Tuesday August 7 is the Ann Arbor Poetry Slam! There will be no feature, which leaves more time for you to read! As always we will have an open mic, and the world famous Poetry Slam. August is a standard qualifier.
Please wish our intrepid team of poets luck as they compete next week in the National Poetry Slam in Austin, Texas!
Check out this sweet article in the Austin Chronicle, which features Ann Arbor’s own Karyna McGlynn
(OK she’s really from Austin, but she’s competing for us this year!), clicky clicky!
