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!
