AN EVENING OF POETRY
Inaugurated by The Gulf Coast Ethnic and Heritage Jazz Festival,
Inc. in 2000, The EVENING of POETRY is in its seventh year and brings
together ‘spoken-word’ artists in celebration of poetry and in
recognition of poetry’s vital place in American culture.
The EVENING of POETRY will be spiced with presentations from area
spoken word artists with a pinch of competition thrown in for good
measure.
The Festival is offering an “OPEN SIGN-UP for a “poetry
slam.” Poets who wish to
participate in the slam must sign up by 6:45 P.M. for one of the limited
COMPETITION SLOTS. The first
fifteen (15) persons to sign up for competition will compete for Festival $Dollars$
Slam Honors.
The
winner of the "Poet's Corner" written poetry contest will be
announced during the Evening of Poetry which will be held Thursday, August
2, 2007 at 6:30 P. M. at the Alabama School of Math & Science
Auditorium located at 1255 Dauphin Street.
