Poetry Slam goes multilingual this year

Flyer for CMC Breckenridge's annual Poetry SlamA beloved Summit County literary tradition is less than a month away, so it’s time for local poets to prepare for Colorado Mountain College’s eighth annual Poetry Slam on March 26.

The slam gives local poets a venue to present their works (either memorized or read) to fellow poetry aficionados. The rules are minimal:
– The poem must be your own.
– The poem must be three minutes or less in length.
– Presenting poets are not allowed any props except for a folder.
– Poems must be presented solo – no group pieces or music.

This year, poems in Spanish are encouraged – or any language, though all poems must be translated to English. And if you’d like to attend a writing lab prior to the slam, two workshops, from 2-4 p.m. on Mondays at Colorado Mountain College in Breckenridge and Wednesdays at Colorado Mountain College in Dillon, are available.

The college’s eighth annual Poetry Slam is on March 26 at 7 p.m. in the Eileen and Paul Finkel Auditorium, Colorado Mountain College in Breckenridge, 107 Denison Placer Road. The event is free and open to the public.
