First, for those of you who came out to support Karyna and all the poets at the Women of the World Poetry Slam in Detroit last month, thank you. It was a fantastic night of poetry, even though Karyna didn’t take first.
We have a big night of poetry on April 1, it’s no joke. Our annual semi-finals mark the end of the qualifying season. If you took first or second in any of our slams since last June, you are qualified to compete. The top 6 poets will move on to the finals in May, to decide who will represent Ann Arbor at the National Poetry Slam in Madison this August.
Good Luck, and see you tomorrow night!

Now, I know that Karyna is world famous, and she slammed for Austin and Seattle, and she has published a gazillion poems and papers elsewhere; but this year she slams for Ann Arbor, so this is a victory for us!
Karyna is ranked 7th overall after two nights of great poetry at the Women of the World Poetry Slam which places her squarely into the finals going on tonight in Detroit! If you have nothing to do tonight, head down to the Filmore and cheer on our hometown poet! If you have something to do, cancel it and go down there anyway!
In other news, our semi-finals are next month. If you slammed during our regular season, and took first or second, you are qualified to compete in our semifinals. So polish up your poems, it’s the first Tuesday in April!
