Whether you are a longtime fan of performance poetry, a potential participant in the late-night poetry slam, or just someone wondering what all the fuss is about, there is no better guide than Roger Bonair-Agard. In this informal talk, the former national champion slam poet will discuss what it means to be a slam poet, how that relates to the written word, and where the art form fits in to poetry's long tradition as a performance art.
Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join fellow art lovers for an informal discussion of music and everything that flows from it. Those leading the discussion will provide plenty of food for thought, but that shouldn't stop you from ordering something to munch on, if you're feeling peckish.
Extend your White Pine Festival experience well into the evening by joining Roger Bonair-Agard for a late-night slam poetry exhibition that promises to be as fun as it is funky. Last year's energetic slam was one of the festival's highlights, and this year's should be every bit as exciting.
