Sunday December 16
Join the Asylum this week with the next Open Qualifying Slam for the 2008 Worcester Slam Season. This will be the last qualifier before the Winter Semi-final slam next Sunday.
Slam poetry has been compared to verbal jousting or grammatic boxing and can be moving, funny and deadly serious, sometimes all in the same poem. Up to 8 poets come up and perform their original work, three minutes or less please, for the audience. Five people randomly chosen from the audience before the bout will give each poem a score. We drop a couple of scores, do some math and at the end of two rounds declare a victor. The top two finishers in tonight's slam move on to the Winter semi-final next week.

The open mic sign-up list goes out around 7:00 p.m. and the reading starts closer to 7:30 p.m. The slam follows the open mic. No cover; please throw some money in the bucket to support the feature.

The Poets' Asylum -- in its fifteenth year of
bringing the best in Performance and Slam poetry
to Central Massachusetts and beyond.
