The Tiny Mesa Poetry Slam

 In the tradition of Arizona performance poetry, Anthology, the state's longest running performance poetry nonprofit presents the next great Mesa poetry tradition.

Poetry Slam is a competition, where poets perform their work to be judged by the audience based on the presentation and content. The Anthology Poetry Slam has three rounds, and in each round the poets perform in random order, with a 3 minute time limit for each performance.

It's a no holds barred verbal duel that brings out the best in each writer and performer.

• All shows start at 8PM
• Suggested Donation is $5
• Cash Prize awarded for first place

This show also features:

• The Pad- Pass around a pad for a free-writing exercise for the audience during the show. Some lucky audience person gets to read it at the end.
• The 60 second Haiku Death Match. A complete best of 5 Haiku slam all done in less than 60 seconds. Between the second and third rounds.
