[LIT] Online Poetry Slam - or maybe Slams?!

[Bill IVEY]

Hi!

Once again this spring, we'll be celebrating April as National Poetry
Month by running the annual Online Poetry Slam. For newer members, this
involves 10-14 classrooms publishing poetry online in password-protected 
blogs, and then committing to read poetry from other schools and comment
on it. Registration won't be until March, but be thinking ahead if you're
interested!

Last year's Slam is archived at:

Very important - Keith and I were thinking of running a second Slam this
year for schools who don't study poetry in April. So my question here is,
are there people out there who study poetry in December, January, February
or March who would be interested in a mini-Slam during one of those
months? If so, please let me know at bivey at sbschool.org.

Take care,
