ANN ARBOR, MI POETRY SLAM and Open Mic September 2, 2010

Press Release

Krazy Kats will unleash POETIC DEBAUCHERY with a BRAND NEW ANN ARBOR POETRY SLAM!
Hosted By Lindsay Stone & Lady Vixion

With Ann Arbor having a 20-year history in the poetry slam movement, Krazy Kats believes the area is a perfect breeding ground for talented performance poets. We hope to broaden Ann Arbor's reputation in slam and revive the tradition, with the goal of Krazy Kats' taking a team to the National Poetry Slam in Boston next summer.

A cash prize will be awarded to the top poet of the night.

A poetry slam is a competition in which poets perform original works. Each performance is judged on a numeric scale by randomly selected members from the audience. Typically, a poetry slam is highly politicized, with participants taking on many issues ranging from current social and economic issues, to gendered injustices, and racial issues. Poets are judged not only on the content of their slam, but also by the manner of delivery and passion behind their words.

Aside from the slam competition, there will be an open-mic for non-slammers and live music performed by Full Dimensional.

We would love to have you come out and support your local area performance poets, where we guarantee a great time taking part in Poetic Debauchery that only Krazy Kats can host!
