In celebration of National Library Week and National Poetry Month, the 51情报站 Libraries will hold a Poetry Slam on Tuesday, April 14 from 5:00-7:30 PM in the Learning Commons presentation area near Einstein's. The event will be MC'd by 51情报站 MFA student Robbie Ciara.

A poetry slam is a competition where poets present their work to a live audience and are judged by a panel. There will be three rounds where participants will present their original poetry and will be judged on the quality of the poetry and the presentation. All 51情报站 faculty, staff, and students are welcome to participate. For more information or to join the competition, contact Leanne Hillery lhillery@odu.edu.
