Poetry Slam tonight at Laramie Co. Library

I'm serving as a judge for the Teen Poetry Slam that starts at 6 p.m. tonight in the Cottonwood of the Laramie County Public Library. Participants must pre-register by calling 307-634-3561 (time is short!). This judged event features teams of teen poets facing off against one another. Participants need to bring at least four original poems.

The top high school and junior high teams will receive cash prizes (double the amount from last year), as well as awards for individual poets.

This event is free and open to the public. Come on out and cheer for your faves.
