POETRY SLAM 4: WHO DO YOU LOVE?
Hope Anita Smith
Saturday, February 17, 2:00 p.m.
Ages 7-14

Our 4th Poetry Slam is a celebration of love and admiration! We are looking for lovers of the spoken word, ages 7–14, to recite their original poetic tribute to a person, place, or thing who they admire. It could be an author, musician, parent, pet, personal hero, or even yourself. Each poet will get three minutes to recite or rap a poem or lyric they’ve written. We will select one poet from each age group, judged on poem content and performance, to receive a $25 Children’s Book World gift certificate; all other participating poets will receive $5 gift certificates. Call, come in, or send an email to cbwchildrensbooks@gmail.com to sign up to perform. Start writing your odes, tributes, and appreciations today!

Our judge, two time Coretta Scott King Award winning poet Hope Anita Smith, will be signing her books and available for writing and performing tips to the participating poets.
