The (K.)N.E.W. MN Youth Poetry Slam Series, presented by TruArtSpeaks,
is a series of poetry slams held throughout the Twin Cities from January 26th
to March 29th, 2013.
The series will identify six young people
between the ages of 13-19 to represent Minnesota in the international BRAVE NEW
VOICES Youth Poetry Slam Festival (BNV) summer 2013!
The series begins with
four preliminary slams that are free and open to the public. Any youth between
the ages of 13-19 that lives in Minnesota is eligible to compete in one or more
of these slams to earn a place in the semi-finals. The top 20 poets from
the semi-finals advance to the finals where six poets will be chosen to
represent Minnesota at the BNV this coming July.
The first preliminary slam was Saturday January 26th at Macalaster College Chapel. Southwest was well represented. Three Lakers qualified for the semi-finals: Fatima Camara, Angie Espinoza, and Jalisa Hunter.
The next preliminary slam is Friday February 1st in the Southwest Auditorium from 5-7 PM.
