Any poets and musicians are welcome to perform at the Poetry Jam. The Poetry Jams provide an opportunity for people to express their creativity in front of an audience - and audiences the chance to be entertained by short bursts of contemporary poetry and music.
The Poetry Jam includes three rounds of poetry, intermission with refreshments, and music with each musician sharing a maximum of three songs. The pieces performed at the Poetry Jams are not censored and are geared for audiences high school aged and up, according to organizers.
