Best of Brooklyn Poetry Slam with Parle Endeavors

 

To celebrate National Poetry Month this year, we at Flatbush have partnered with Parle Endeavors who is launching their  first annual Best of Brooklyn Poetry Slam Series, which includes 3 workshops and a 4-part poetry slam, venturing into various neighborhoods in the Brooklyn borough.  They have partnered with the New York Public Library to bring this series to the Flatbush Branch along with several other Brooklyn Library branches.  

The event is open exclusively to middle school and high school students who live in Brooklyn, or go to school in Brooklyn.  Proof of residence, or school enrollment, must be provided.

The poetry slam will consist of 3 preliminary round opportunities.  The top performers from all the preliminary rounds will make it to the finals event.

Preliminary Round (April 29th - May 8th) for the Slam will be one poem per performer. 

Poets who don't move on to the finals can attend more than one preliminary event.
