Join us for the return of our annual poetry slam festival THIS SATURDAY (March 18) at William Philip Hall on the campus of UW Tacoma. Local teens will compete in a friendly poetry slam competition where, "the points are not the point, the point is the poetry!" The slam begins at 2pm. All are welcome and it is free to attend. (If you are a teen writer or know someone who is, we are also hosting Crossing the Street, a morning of writing workshops and an open mic at 9:30 on the same day. Lunch is provided and it's free to attend. Register to attend here: https://www.write253.com/morning-session-registration) See you Saturday!
