The University of Auckland is proud to support The Writers and Readers Festival, and pleased to announce that we have secured festival star Rives as the MC and guest performer for our inaugural Poetry Slam.
Poetry slam is the literary equivalent of American Idol. Poets are judged on the quality of both their writing and their delivery. A poetry slam is lively competition in which poets perform their original work. Judges are selected from the audience.
The University of Auckland poetry slam will put ten student and staff poets head to head in the battle for the ultimate champion. The event will be filmed and the top poems will make it to YouTube.
The poetry slam is free and all University students and staff are welcome to attend (and eligible to enter).
