the un-dead poet's society

on every last tuesday of the month, wordforward would organize a poetry slam at velvet underground. it's an event where people go for reading (poem) or even take part in the slam. for participants of the slam, you would have to go through 3 rounds. it's rather confusing, from the website, it stated that the 3 poems have to be penned by oneself, but yet, the emcee actually mentioned only the first poem. hmm, consistency? before i mislead you, you do not have to be a poet to qualify for both the reading and the slam. all it takes is a passion for poetry (so that you'll even start writing), the expressionist attitude and a big heart to accept not only the cheers and applauses from the audience, but also the jeering.




it's rather interesting that the poetry enthusiasts population seems to be growing! on top of holding the poetry slam monthly at velvet, there's also another session at the arts house on every last thursday of the month. so if you're one of the poetry enthusiasts, do go and check out the event, or even share your works! even if you're an aspiring director, dancer, etc, the organizers are open to showcasing your works!

important facts to note:
the tickets are going at $10 each,
time: 7.30 - 10pm
and of course, club rules apply.
