LAKEPORT ? A poetry slam takes place from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, May 24, at Caf? Victoria, located on the corner of Third and Main streets in Lakeport. For more information, contact… Cheri Holden at Watershed Books, 263-5787.
Poets will vie for cash prizes.
Poetry Slams are an authentic venue for poets and performers according to organizer Cheri Holden. No props are allowed, and while some poets use nothing but their words to deliver a poem, others stretch the boundaries of the format, tap-dancing, beatboxing or using highly choreographed movements. The audience is definitely part of the action.
Judges are chosen from the audience and cheering on favorites is encouraged.
Poet performers sign up for competition at the door. Holden has cash prizes for first-, second- and third-place winners: three poems; three rounds; three winners.
