Students from WI converge for poetry slam
Posted on February 1, 2010
Student poets across Wisconsin are competing this week in Madison.
Contestents are being judged by artists from Madison's hip-hop, radio and writing community. The winners from each semifinal will go on to compete against other regional contest winners at the Wisconsin State Grand Slam on Feb. 26.
The state team will go on to compete at the national Brave New Voices International Youth Poetry Slam Festival this summer in Los Angeles.
The national festival brings together young poets and spoken-word artists aged 13 to 19 from across the country.
