| | Southwest Florida Poetry Slam
Join us at the Center for the Performing Arts Bonita Springs for the Southwest Florida Poetry Slam on April 24, 2021. WHAT IS A POETRY SLAM A Poetry Slam itself is simply a poetry competition in which poets perform original work alone or in teams before an audience, which serves as a judge. The work is judged as much on the manner and enthusiasm of its performance as its content or style, and many slam poems are not intended to be read silently from the page. The performances at a Poetry Slam is a type of competition where people read their poems without props, costumes or music. After performing they receive scores from five randomly selected judges. The judges can be anyone, they don't even need to be poets! Scores are awarded based on how much each judge likes a poem. Slams have become one of the most vital and energetic movements in poetry, revitalizing interest in poetry and in performance. | Buy Tickets |
