酷我-北美枫

Burlington Slam Project is a monthly Poetry Slam
series held for and by the community of Burlington,
Ontario and the surrounding communities.

What is a Poetry Slam? Good question! Simply put:
It's poetry in action! Poets have 3 minutes to
perform their own material for the crowd, judges
from the audience give it a score from 1 to 10, and
the winner goes home with a small cash prize and
bragging rights. But the points are not the point!
Poetry is the point! It's about getting out there,
putting your stuff out there, and performing your
work for others until you know that every person
sitting in that audience is feelin' your piece in
the core of their soul.

On the third Thursday of each month we meet at the
Honey West Restaurant & Lounge (399 Elizabeth St,
Burlington, ON), from 8 to 11 pm. The evening
starts with an open mic. After a brief explanation
of slam we are treated to poet who sacrifices
themselves in order for the judges to calibrate
their scoring. Let's face it, no one wants to go
first! When then jump into our first round of
poetry after which we are treated to a feature
poet. A brief intermission proceeds the feature
poet. For the climax, poets take the stage for a
final round before crown a new slam champion and
present them with a cold hard CASH prize.

Our ultimate goal is to foster the awareness,
appreciation, and growth of poetry in the city of
Burlington and surrounding communities. If you have
a like-minded vision and a desire to share it others
then we would love to partner with your
oraganization.

Please reply to this message if you're at all
interested in joining forces.

Sincerely,

Ryan Duffy
Promotions Manager
